Hi, I'm running a tor server called 'Grepular'. At the moment it's a "partial" exit node in that it only exits a few specific ports. It's also a directory mirror. I'm running version 0.1.2.13, with this config:
SocksPort 9050 SocksListenAddress 0.0.0.0 RunAsDaemon 1 DataDirectory /var/lib/tor ControlPort 9051 BandwidthRate 64KB BandwidthBurst 64KB MaxAdvertisedBandwidth 64KB Nickname grepular Address tor-node.grepular.com ORPort 443 ORListenAddress 85.234.136.20:9001 DirPort 80 DirListenAddress 85.234.136.20:9030 ExitPolicy accept *:20-23,accept *:53,accept *:109-115,accept *:123,accept *:143,accept *:389,accept *:465,accept *:587,accept *:636,accept *:989-995,accept *:1080,accept *:6660-6667,reject *:* I use the following iptables rules to redirect port 80 and 443 connections to the actual ports tor is listening on: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 85.234.136.20 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 85.234.136.20:9030 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 85.234.136.20 -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination 85.234.136.20:9001 With the bandwidth limits set as they are, why is tor using up nearly 1 Megabit per second? I thought it might be the directory mirror not being counted in the bandwidth usage, but from googling, I see this shouldn't be the case? I have much more spare capacity than 64KB/sec but I'm loathed to increase the current limits in my config until I'm confident I can accurately control the usage. Mike
