The following are some of the more important config options that I use for such a small middle relay: # Tor: A non-exit relay should be able to handle 7000 concurrent connections                                                                   ulimit -n 65535 DirCache 0                                               ExitRelay 0                      # Note: The default MaxMeminQueues is 3/4 (i.e., 192MB) of Total System Memory (i.e., 256MB)                    # Uncomment the following line to limit Tor to use less System Memory (i.e., 128MB) MaxMemInQueues 192 MB                                                         Log notice file /tmp/torlog                              Log notice syslog RunAsDaemon 1                                            DataDirectory /tmp/tor/torrc.d/.tordb                    AvoidDiskWrites 1 — This Message Originated by the Sun. iBigBlue 63W Solar Array (~12 Hour Charge) + 2 x Charmast 26800mAh Power Banks = iPhone XS Max 512GB (~2 Weeks Charged) On Wednesday, November 10, 2021, 2:36:13 AM MST, failing.flyaway443--- via tor-relays <tor-relays@lists.torproject.org> wrote: Hi Gary, thank you for your response. I think I just worry too much. I watched my relay all the time today, I had bandwidth usage of 30MB/s at times and HTOP showed me a Load average of 0.29/0.29/0.30. I know that this is totally fine for a dual core. The relay is up and running for 3 days and 8 hours now and I already moved ~700GB in each direction (upload/download). I was just concerned because the VPS started crashing after 2 weeks solid uptime, but I should have set stricter bandwith limits.  You can't really compare a VM with a root server, I don't think this will happen again. It's ok for me to invest a little more and have a fast and stable relay this way. The traffic was capped with the VPS plan, this was obviously a big disadvantage, now I can use as much traffic as I want with a 2,5Gbit link (1Gbit guaranteed). For your info, the most important lines of my config: SocksPort 0 Log notice file /var/log... Log debug file /var/log... ORPort 443 RelayBandwithRate 1000Mbit RelayBandwithBurst 1000Mbit Exit policy reject *:* ContactInfo & Nickname set, of course... ;) Is there anything I should change? Thanks for your help!
