My relay is around 10 days older and I get avg. of around 15mb/s up/down. Total of 150TB while nyx added when you uploaded your second relay video. Maybe you can do a Monero node setup video. Its really useful and helpful to the Monero network. Also you can combine tor and your node.
Kinda confused about the statistical measurements under nyx; When referring to network speed is it not, generally, always referred to in Gigabits per second instead of Gigabytes/Gibibytes per second? Cause if your limit in nyx is set the 1 GB/s then that means the network speed for the tor relay is allegedly 8 Gbps, oversight on the nyx devs using the incorrect unit or what?
It's only cuz the Computer Industry, is trying to move away from the "Bytes", and instead use "Bits", but there's too many old people in the industry, and they use the old system. And it will likely stay that way ehhhh another 15 years or so before the Industry switches to the newer "standard". Also fun fact: If you poke around in Steam Settings, you can toggle your Downloads from Bytes to Bits & back again.
But also seems proper, if he's only using 7MBps, then should be like 56Mbps, so that seems like a reasonable amount.... But then again, 8TB is (86400*31)* some number in MEGABITS, 1Mbps would be 334GB... 7Mbps would be 2.3TB, and ~50Mbps would be about twice his average usage. So 50Mbps circuit usage seems fair; numbers seem to add up. If his node was peaking to 7MBps, but using about 3MBps during "slow times", then I could see this figure aligning with the monthly his published "Quota" in TB. I think this "noob" has his burst set wrong, should be set to like 128MBps. Not 1GBps.
Thanks for sharing the update but every measurement is 8 times greater than you think because the uppercase B stands for Byte, which is 8 times greater than a bit.
Do you want a suggestion? The bandwidth’s limit of your relay should be the reading speed of your hard disc, because your operating system is limited by the reading speed of the swap partition, regardless of the task your relay is working on.
Such an amazing video for learning! I noticed at 5:01 the screen changes and displays logs in detail. Which switch did you use for this? Kindly specify the command.
I recommend Contabo hosting. 5 euro = 4 cores 8GB RAM 50GB NVMe or 200GB SSD and 32 TB monthly bandwith. Hosted two Minecraft servers at the same time on this configuration. No problems at all.
I know there are already a bajillion comments to this effect, but Nyx measures bandwidth in bytes, not bits, by default. You can change this setting in your nyxrc, and if you want, you can set the bandwidth rate in torrc as bits with, e.g., RelayBandwidthRate 16 MBits or RelayBandwidthRate 1 GBits. Edit: Minor wording changes.
From what I know is that for example the Raspberry Pi 4 has an encryption throughput bottleneck of around 80MB/s for services like Samba. If you start stacking encryption (i.e. when I access its Samba via Hamachi or ZeroTier) the performance drops even further to around 10 MB/s in my case. Using an older, low-power CPU might worsen this problem even more. So the idea of using an i5 is definetly good and will make your node many times more powerful. What I imagine could work too might be a Turing Pi set up with a load balancer or just in general multiple nodes. A53 cores are pretty darn efficient.
@@somedude-vp9tiI've seen posts saying some services scans and bans all tor relays even when you're not exit so there's a slight risk of disrupting your normal internet activity. I personally don't care since all my normal internet traffic goes through a VPN
It would be great for you to create a video of you setting up a Tor node on raspberry pi on preferably raspbian lite and get the statistic chart and everything working!
Nice update as always. Thanks to your content I got my relay up and running - also an I2PD - but I ran into an issue: Since the relays are running from my home network everytime my ISP resets my external IP - which usually happens in the 24 to 48 hour range unpredictably - the relays are not reachable anymore. I2PD rellay goes berserk and needs 10 times the CPU it normally does in this case - which is also unpleasant whe I am at work and don't notice it... I have to restart them to get them online again manually which is really annoying :( I did think about setting up a second relay on a remote location on a Raspberry PI to help on getting more relays online but with this issue it won't do any good. I can't restart it manually there... Is there a fix for this to get the relays online automatically as soon as the external IP is changed?
Deer Mental outlaw I am new at Linux I'm trying to sit up a windows XP vm but 3D acceleration don't work I tried virtualbox and VMware but I didn't succeed do you have an solution?
-I'm almost sure that CPU is not bottlenecking your configuration.- Even if your ISP claims "up to 1 Gbps" internet speeds, it does not mean that it will be so fast, especially in all directions. That may be a problem, you need to have fast speeds towards Tor measuring nodes. Also you obtained Guard just recently, not many clients added your guard node yet. You can try hack to boost your bandwidth - you need to direct high speed flow of data through your node for ~10 seconds, or better for minute. It is possible to specify exactly which nodes tor client uses, so no problem to do this. It will be interesting for you to learn how to do this exactly :) *upd.* Without AES-NI 25% of load at 1 MiB/s really can become 100% of load at 4 MiB/s. So now relay is totally fine, but with increased load it may have not enough CPU resources.
Clearly you have no experience with the Tor daemon. It is almost certainly CPU bound, as IIRC it runs single threaded and contains a lot of de/encryption.
Heh my isp promised up to 50mbit/s (guess which stoneage internet country i live in) bandwith, yet it is impossible for me to download with more than 6mbs and if i do so the connection speed for all other devices suffers badly causing my ping to slow down from 20-40ms to over 200ms.
@@biigsmokee in this video CPU is used at ~25%. In single thread case it can be loaded 2 times more. In multithreaded, 4 times more. So _now_ CPU is not a problem. In future, if CPU usage goes up to 100%, then, yes, it may cause a problems. But not for sure. If CPU is used by network related functions, then it may stay at 100% of single core while using either 1 MiB/s or 10 MiB/s. Most likely, only network latency will be different at different loads. Latter case happened for my relay, but since my CPU have AES-NI and his CPU do not have it, then, yes, his CPU may be busy with crypto and not network tasks.
Is this a thing now? I've been thinking about that concept for years now but I've lacked the technical ability to capitalize on it. If so that's amazing. That will surely increase the speed and general usability of the network as people get monetary incentive for running relays.

Kenny, keep in mind that its not only the machine itself, but also the Router in your House. Most consumer Routers/Modems can only handle so much. I know for a fact, that I2P limits the Connections to 700. Thats not total TCP/UDP connections, as some connections use the same tunnel, but overall its taxing the Router way more than just surfing n stuff. The fact, that you are also probably seeding a lot of torrents and that you are also running tor, may just be too much for your Router to handle and not for the machine itself. I personally would check that first. For me the limit is around 500-900 TCP connections at once, till my Router shits itself. I have a low end Fritzbox 7530, which are really common here in Germany. So it might be, that you can push 1GBit/s over a few connections, maybe even a few hundred, but multiple connections is more demanding, than higher bandwidth.
I remember when the network first came online... I had a relay running for the first year before that computer gave up. I have a spare pi laying around... Maybe I should try to set it up

Why can't I comment this. Auto-deleted when I mention you can use a slower computer with less bandwidth to run a tor+obfs4 relay (even more secure, not shown on the metrics website, and you can connect to it directly).

Those a bytes my main man. Not bits. MegaBytes per second.

@@milutinke he doesnt know
Those values are megabits or megabytes? Super misleading. :/ MB always meant megabyte to me while Mbps was megabit/sec.

I just want to say that i appreciate that you can talk about the sort of stuff that im used to hearing from people who cant go 10 seconds without getting angry at the libs, im incredibly far left and im just glad this channel doesnt make me uncomfortable.
There's no reason for us to be angry at you, you are a human who deserves as much privacy, anonymity, and protection as anyone else
And I'm sure you agree, we need things like open sourced software and true security online, that what makes us allies
- completely center libertarian
I mean far left doesn’t equal liberal
Liberalism in kinda the center the the moment specifically neoliberalism (culturally left, economically right)
That being said I’m glad Mental Outlaw is mostly just focused on the libertarian aspects of things and doesn’t seem to care that much about left/right and more just cares about freedom
Coming to the internet to feel comfortable will only end in failure. Airborne rabies, weather manipulators, child predators etc... Been here for a long time... Dangerous freedom is the internet. Respect that and we should get along just fine. 🙂
@@fatcat5817 well I'm unsure how you feel, but I feel more comfortable with my daily dose of airborne rabies and child preds
MO is a real one that calls out both sides. Watch his video on the freedom phone and his video on Mozilla censorship to see him shit on the right and left, respectfully.
Why do you use different addresses(for donations) for ETH and ETC? it can be used in same wallet. :-)
You should look into a quadcore mod on your t500.
Do you have recommendations on private computers at all?
uwu papa mental called me hecking cute and valid
A question, how much do you pay for your internet connection??
@mentaloutlaw I’m moving and have a brand new Raspberry Pi 4 I’d part with for actual reasonable prices as a thank you for your videos. I’d be happy to verify myself to you in private.
Hope you reach him homie, or if you can’t just turn the Pi into a relay yourself 👍🏻
Yeah I'm sure he'll buy your electronics, random comment section person.
Seriously, why even post this?
@@Celastrous Are you that dark that a simple kind gesture escapes all meaning to you?
@@reelenz Offering to sell a Rasp4 for a "reasonable price" is a kind gesture?
@@Celastrous Did you even listen to the video?
Planning on buying o low end laptop to start my own.
I think you mistook megabits for megabytes several times in the video
How much disk space would having V2Dir enabled use?
Raspberry pi is really expensive this days that it is much cheaper to just buy thin clients or SFFs with 2-3rd gen i3 at least in my country since most companies that are closing their office are selling it cheaply. It is just without the ram and hdd. I suggest just buy a second hand thin client with quad core amd G series (usually from HP), they are as low power as raspberry pi but powerful enough not to bottleneck your relay....
$30 is expensive? You can make that much in an hour or less for something you're gonna use for years
@@paradiseexpress3639 not in my country though. They are selling it more than $30, but since it is being hoarded also, I expect it to raise in price in the near future....
@@paradiseexpress3639 Not everyone is lucky enough to enjoy high wages like the USA.. Here a Raspberry Pi is half of minimum wage. Really a lot more economic to buy really old computers or laptops with dead batteries.
A reminder to be grateful for what we already have.
The problem could also be your router. It has to handle multiple 10K connections at a higher bandwidth
Does Tor relay help my personally, or it’s only about altruism and helping the Tor community?
If I can ever afford to get the "business" ISP or another ISP I'll get one set up. Current ISP blocks almost everything.
My old laptop couldn't handle a relay and a web server used for Searx instance at the same time :< Maybe if it would have an SSD. I have Thinkpad though, maybe I will use it as a server, since I don't really have mobile use for it.
Bandwidth is egregiously misconfigured, those are bytes not bits brother. Also, it looks like you’re running this through an NL vpn according to router dbs (you leaked the name of your node). Can you talk more about how you configured that?

ignore my degeneracy, thanks
That's 8.2 terabytes, not terabits. Capital B
Capital B is teraBytes, no?
Why can't I comment this. Auto-deleted when I mention you can use a slower computer with less bandwidth to run a tor+obfs4 relay (even more secure, not shown on the metrics website, and you can connect to it directly).
Finally, it worked. RUclips didn't like some words for some reason (puts on tinfoil hat).
@@LeDechaine lol
Wait you don't just hide pis in libraries and restaurants and make them relays?
Is your uplink actually 1Gbps and 1Gbps down?
i have a gigabit fiber connection, but my ip address is dynamic and my isp changes it every 3 days, is that a problem for tor relays?
It's a problem, but I think relay can work in such configuration.
If bans do not scare you, then it is better just to check.
Jesus Christ I was thinking of making one but I have a data cap of 1 tb a month
you can always set your data cap lower, any bandwidth you can spare is helpful to Tor.
you can do some math on like 1tb is 1000000 megabytes divide that by the total second of a month 2629800 and you can se the cap to be 0.3802570537683474 mb/s and you'll never run out of data :p
Same brother 1tb limit here makes me want to move somewhere with better interwebs
That's so cool!
How bad is it to run a relay on a windows machine?
Tor is just not well optimized for Windows.
So it will use more resources.
No other differences.
This is awesome but what we really need is your assessment of Robert Epstein taking a dump on Linux and saying WIndows is a way to go on Joe Rogan. We need this with memes included!
for the algorithm!!!!
I think you meant Terabytes.
My relay is running for about 3 weeks now, but I still haven't the guard flag :(
Do it have Fast and Stable flags?
@@sdjhgfkshfswdfhskljh3360 ye
@@im1random263 guard have slightly higher requirements than for that flags. If I understood correctly, it should have 98% uptime and have speed higher than slowest 1/4 of relays have (2-3 MiB/s). Maybe your relay do not have enough speed (Consensus Weight or Observed bandwidth - not sure which).
Using a capital B for bit instead of byte should be a capital offense
Will you please make shirts with the 4 eyed cat?
You expose both your node's nickname (which indirectly also exposes its IP), and admit that this is on your home network.
Int self-doxing?
You can't do anything with a hostname
@@jacksoncremean1664 ,TOR-nodename =/= hostname.
Wait if someone does bad shit on your relay it would frame u too ?!! Right
Only if you run an "exit" relay, because it will show as your own IP address. Not by default.
@@LeDechaine oh. Good for Him. How to read up more on tor ?
@@selenophile5256 Well the official tor website is quite complete, from learning how it works to learning how to have your own relay/bridge/etc.
