Running both Transmission server and Tor relay
Transmission is the open source torrent application which supports web-based interface. So when users upload torrent files from other computers to that server, it automatically downloads files written in torrent files. I used that at my home server, but I'd like to use my server as Tor relay also. But as many knows, running BitTorrent over Tor is really bad idea. It seriously harms security of Tor network. So I thought about the solution about how to use them simultaneously. 1. One machine, Two services. If that situation not harms the security, I will use them on one machine. 2. Two machines, Two services. Running that services one machine to one service to avoid the crashes between two. 3. Gave up running one service. If really no way to run both, I will gave up running Transmission service. Which could be best solution I will make? Sent from ProtonMail mobile
Hey Ch1keen, If I'm understanding you correctly, you'd like to run both a Tor relay ( thanks! ) and a torrent client on the same machine? This shouldn't cause any problems if the relay you are running is not an exit relay. Even if it is, I don't think you would see too much degradation on the torrent side of things. You should have no problem running both of them on your network as long as you don't route your torrent traffic over Tor. To do this, you would have to configure transmission to use a particular proxy. Bottom line, you shouldn't have any issues running transmission and a relay on the same machine, so long as you don't route torrent traffic over the Tor network. Does this answer your question?

It shouldn't even matter if you torrent if you run an exit: when they say torrenting through Tor is bad: they mean as a client (using a SOCKS proxy to run your downloads through the Tor network), not torrenting whilst running a relay/exit. Running transmission alongside a Tor relay/exit won't do anything or degrade anything (unless, of course, torrenting is taking up 99% of your bandwidth and the Tor relay can only access 1% of it, naturally) Hope this clears things up for you.

And side of tor network, right?
Does this answer your question? Yes, Thank you Robert so much!!

Hey, It's possible to set up the Relay trafic bandwidth used : *RelayBandwidthRate* + *RelayBandwidthBurst* in the torrc file ;) https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en (be careful, it will be used in both sides ! if you put 5MB = 10MB up + down used for relaying tor traffic) And Transmission daemon can be set up from the web-interface, upload/download speed, too ;) You will have to know your 100% bandwidth available for both, then you will be able to give what you want to torrent + tor Thx for adding your relay ;) ps: sry for this noise 1 month after :s Dylan Issa :

Does your home router support a lot of connections? Maybe it does, if BitTorrent already works. If not, you might find it crashes or slows down. But if it does, it will happen if you run Tor on the same machine, or different machines, because it's the router that's hitting its limit. T
