Although not at 4-5 Gb/s but closer to 1 Gb/s Tor, plus a bit more from other things, mostly outgoing, I can tell VyOS works fine.. It’s basically the Linux kernel doing all the forwarding and it has iptables, so you should be fine if the hardware is capable..

Hello,

I’m researching for a new colo, and in order to bring it online until I can consolidate some hardware, I would like to temporarily run a VyOS Router as the main router so I can start getting things online sooner than later. This VyOS Router will be running BGP with the upstream providers, IPv4, and IPv6, and basic filtering to protect the router and other essential hardware.

I’ve seen VyOS perform quite wonderfully on 4-6 gbps links with traffic coming primarily from a CDN. My question is does anyone here have any experience running VyOS with that much traffic with that traffic primarily consisting of Tor traffic? Are there any other suggestions for a basic non-hardware router based solution as a temporary implementation, perhaps even using FreeBSD?

Thanks,
