A large-scale operator (with more than 20 exit relays) was wondering about the effects of the newer tor versions and the MyFamily configuration option.
I don't think that "newer tor versions" had any MyFamily related changes that impact concurrent connections
After setting up the MyFamily saw a 50% drop on the number connections and the usage of the relay bandwidth; This person would like to push more bandwidth and would like to find out how to better achieve this scenario;
things that might help with increasing bandwidth usage: * run a more open exit policy * tune DNS performance * add IPv6 connectivity + enable IPv6 exiting * run more tor instances * don't use crowded /16 subnets * choose well connected ASes * use faster hardware
The person also asked if it's possible to run FreeBSD/OpenBSD in a embedded SoC (like Raspberry, or BeagleBone) - yes! it is possible, and some people do it :)
OpenBSD is probably not the best choice if you are trying to increase bandwidth usage
Open Questions> Who run the relays with the family fingerprint B740BCECC4A9569232CDD45C0E1330BA0D030D33 ?
This question is surprising to me since Zwiebelfreunde - presumably present at the meeting - provide IP addresses to the operator of that family and Markus is also on this list. https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/#/lookup?source=ripe&key=185.220.101.0%20... btw: there is no such thing as a "family fingerprint". -- https://twitter.com/nusenu_ https://mastodon.social/@nusenu

Sorry nusenu... But why OpenBSD is not the best choice? OpenBSD for network oriented tasks is one of the best options IMO ... FreeBSD also, but for firewalls, for example, is superior ...

OpenBSD is perfectly fine, just not if you are currently running Linux + FreeBSD boxes and aiming to increase bandwidth usage. OpenBSD is optimized for security - not performance. -- https://twitter.com/nusenu_ https://mastodon.social/@nusenu
I was testing FreeBSD https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/ISO-IMAGES/11.2/FreeBSD-11.2-RELEA... a couple of days ago on a Raspberry2. It started a few times, but then out of the blue it came up with a freezing problem as described here: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/freebsd-11-1-on-raspberry-pi-2b-hangs-aft... I couldn't solve that either an gave up for the time being with FreeBSD on Rasp2, but would give another try if somebody here has a solution. Paul Am 26.07.2018 um 10:06 schrieb nusenu:
