Re: [tor-relays] Relay Bandwidth Limit

Hi Dan,

Please be aware that the AccountingMax is per direction of traffic (in/out). So 
5TB is effectively 2*5=10TB in total.
See also https://support.torproject.org/relay-operators/limit-total-bandwidth/
And maybe you don't want all your bandwidth used and want some traffic reserved 
for connecting/operating via ssh for example and installing updates during the 
month.
And indeed, the traffic will stop when the limit is reached or when all 
bandwidth the VPS provider gave is used.

Regards,
Jonathan

“day 1 00:00”. It looks as though my relay is going to blow past that limit 
based on the average data transferred per day and how many days are left in the 
month. Will it simply stop transferring data when the monthly limit is hit?

Thanks

As far as I know tor won’t spread the 5TB across the month. It’ll just run 
until it hits that limit and then hibernate for the rest of the define period. 
So if it hits 5T at 15 days it’ll hibernate for the next 15.

You can try to spread this out yourself by using daily limits and divide your 
allocation that way. It may still hibernate but may be available for more time 
during the month than the monthly max.

Hopefully I’m understanding correctly - your original message was truncated 
across two messages.

Cheers

Yes, this is correct, the standalone Snowflake does not have rate
limiting built-in currently.

But, running a Snowflake bridge in a container is a different topic
than running a Tor relay (or a Tor bridge).

Yes, that's how it works.

The one catch to keep an eye out for is that different ISPs count
bandwidth differently, and by default when you set AccountingMax to 5
TBytes, it means up to 5 TBytes in each direction. If your ISP means
"2.5 TBytes in each direction" when it says 5TB of bandwidth per month
(i.e. it counts each byte twice), then you could be in for a surprise.

See the AccountingMax section in the man page for more details, and
see the AccountingRule option in the man page for how to tell Tor that
your ISP means something different than Tor expected.

My experience with the Snowflake container is that it will blow through the
bandwidth limit for the month, and your VPS will cut you off until the next
billing cycle.

“day 1 00:00”. It looks as though my relay is going to blow past that limit 
based on the average data transferred per day and how many days are left in the 
month. Will it simply stop transferring data when the monthly limit is hit?

Thanks

Hi all,

I’ve been running my first relay for a few weeks now. The VPS provider I chose 
provides 5TB of bandwidth per month so I have set AccountingMax to “5 TB” and
