And here it seems to be run on a consumer line at home, so best case 50 mbit/s upload. Wouldn't it be more usefull that such relays would be turned to bridges? I do currently leave 200 mbit/s buffer on all my relays to deal with spikes if somebody wants to download something and that with more than the usual 2-10 mbit/s you get via Tor. RelayBandwidthRate 25 MB RelayBandwidthBurst 70 MB In my mind Raspberry PI relays running at home (atleast if the connection is only 50mbit/s and not 100 mbit/s+) hinder efforts to speed up downloads via Tor but I don't have any data currently to back this claim. If not I could remove the limits on my relays I guess? ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
Re: [tor-relays] new installation of an established TOR relay (RJ Hofmann)
Hey RJH, Yep. This has happened to me with my Raspberry Pi too (nickname: mutualaid). Be sure you make a copy somewhere safe of kitchenaid's keys found in /var/lib/tor/keys to pick up where you left off next time. Given the network's extra capacity, I doubt core developers and the community will focus on finding a way to fasttrack a relay's reputation, let alone backing up the private keys in a secure way. It's up to relay operators to create copies of their keys. Alternatively, you can also just do period backups of the entire SD card for the Raspberry Pi relay. Either way, thanks for running one.

The new installtion is already up and running, but since I had no copies of keys and fingerprints the new relay is completely new in terms of consensus weight etc.. I wonder if it is helpful in any way to inform you about this change as to accelerate the relay?s ?reputation? to make it fully functional for the community on the fast track. Anyway the relay will work its way up to its former capabilities. The old relay named ?mosaik? (see screenshot) is no longer existing, the new one is now called ?kitchenaid? (see screenshot) and active at its former speed. with best wishes RJH -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
