What processor is on your VPS? How fast is it? Does it have AES-NI? Is your OpenSSL compiled optimised for your processor and for the encryption that Tor uses? How much RAM does your VPS have? Have you read the torservers.net Tor tuning advice? (And similar articles?)

According to https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/A290A9E71ADFC2FB1C80E64EF851A4B9054501... , the relay has only been around for some short time and is still building up speed; it is currently at 4.5 MByte/s advertised bandwidth. It can take up to roughly a month before a new relay reaches its 'final' throughput levels. See https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay for details. 4.5 MByte/s per direction means that it will reach 2TB within less than three days. You don't want that; you should actually throttle your relay to be around for some more days. I would suggest something like 800 KB/s and a cap on total amount of data per month, which means it will be pushing data for ~15 days per month.

I am surprised as well because my middle relay has quite a low traffic, at least not as much a I expect. https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/7A32C9519D80CA458FC8B034A28F5F6815649A...

Maybe this article from the Tor FAQ will help: http://archives.seul.org/or/relays/Aug-2010/msg00034.html According to the article, Tor can only get 100Mbps per CPU core, and Tor doesn't use any more than 2 cores because it's not fully multithreaded. You can only run 2 instances of Tor on the same IP address, which means a maximum of 800Mbps, if you do it right. The answer from this link is pretty straightforward on how to run multiple instances: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14321214/how-to-run-multiple-tor-process... Just make sure you correctly set the MyFamily option in torrc, otherwise a client could (unlikely but possibly) use both of your instances in the same circuit.

Thanks.
According to the article, Tor can only get 100Mbps per CPU core, and Tor doesn't use any more than 2 cores because it's not fully multithreaded.
I only have one core (on a vmware virtual server) but I am far from 100 Mbps: niehaus@rocket:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 58 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2683 v3 @ 2.00GHz stepping : 0 microcode : 0x2b cpu MHz : 1997.686 cache size : 35840 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 1 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 13 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts nopl xtopology tsc_reliable nonstop_tsc aperfmperf pni pclmulqdq ssse3 cx16 pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt aes xsave avx f16c rdrand hypervisor lahf_lm ida arat epb pln pts dtherm fsgsbase smep bogomips : 3995.37 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management:

I have only one instance but with one core it probably is pointless to run more instances ... Sebastian

Clients also check to see if the IP addresses of the nodes in a circuit are on different /16s. (But it's still good to set MyFamily so it's clear which relays are controlled by the same person.)

Right now the Advertised Bandwidth is 1.7MB/s and when I scroll down further on the page in the Bandwidth section my "mean written bytes" are 226.15 kb/s and my "mean read bytes" are 227.1 kbs/s
I see several sites averaging 50MB/s-60MB/s on the Top Ten Relays list
If your VPS is only allowed to do 2TB/month, than you won't need any tuning if you are already doing 1.7MB/s.

Sorry I did not read carefully enough (1.7 *advertised* bw).
