multiple tor nodes on one router? was first using bridge then become bridge
Hi everyone, so I received no hint as to how or whether to pursue this thought... i shall find other sources of information I just started reading the manual, would you believe it.. I have a new question now, I currently have set up number of tor relays on my router which are loadbalanced using squid... in the hope to increase throughput and perhaps achieve increased anonymity by sending requests for one site through different tor routes... Is that advisable or even effective? My feeling is that the connection is somewhat more reliable than with just one tor relay.. and following on with this could one of these relays be set up to connect to tor via a bridge and then pass directory info on to the other relays running on the same machine?

It's the google spreadsheet that load the bridge information embedded into a google site.
I need a google account for that. What if I don't want one?
So, any new ideas anybody? I still feel it would be best if 1. there was
a special function within tor to change from using a bridge to becoming a bridge whithin the censored network, and 2. spreading this bridge-status info locally... perhaps like dht in torrent.. only revealing a small selection of available bridges nearby.. i obviously only have a very dim idea of what i'm talking about.. sorry about that
anyways, if these two problems could be addressed tor could be a biggie with a lot of people here.. ;) -- think: cheap openwrt low maintenance appliance..

The main reason you'd want to run more than one Tor relay on a computer is that it has more processing power than one relay can use (a multiple-core CPU and lots of bandwidth). Also you could be running two clients, if you ran a browser bundle and Torchat each of which ran its own Tor instance. If I understand you right, you have several relays running on one computer, using different proxy ports and different relay ports, and you're using Squid to load balance the proxy ports. If you have more bandwidth than the slowest link in your chain, that might make sense, but I haven't thought about it. cmeclax

That's correct and an according number of privoxy instances is installed between squid and tor.. it's just an experiment.. seems to work ok, apart from latency. There is a wait of several seconds the first time a page is loaded, but i guess that is inherent in the tor design?
If you have more bandwidth than the slowest link in your chain, that might make sense, but I haven't thought about it. Well, in day to day use the speeds I am achieving through one tor node rarely match my normal dsl speed..
best, loz
