Hi all,
I'm hoping to spin up some webtunnel bridges in response to the call for more. I currently run a few middle relays, but have never setup a bridge. I have found a provider in the good-bad-isps list that offers additional IPv4 addresses for a small fee so I'm planning to run 5 bridges from 1 VPS to make management easier. Is this enough horsepower to run 5 WebTunnel bridges?
- 4 vCore AMD EPYC Rome - 8 GB memory - 48 GB SSD
Thanks

The tor process is by far the main consumer of resources in a webtunnel bridge. A normal bridge will require around 512MB of memory so you should have plenty with 8GB. The CPU might be the main limitation here I'm confident this will be enough to run 4 bridges, one per core. But unless all 5 of your bridges will be at some point having heavy use it should be fine, and I don't expect that to happen often.
Let us know if I'm wrong.
