I do mean Megabits. I have learned a long time ago that Tor traffic throughput can't be compared with ssh. Tor needs to sustain the traffic amount for a long period of time with many variables affecting the measured bandwidth. Also I would prefer to run OpenBSD, which does not have support for

Agreed you won't need much to max out a 100 Mbps connection. I have a few relays in the ~ 200 Mbps ballpark running on single core VPS instances. The underlying hardware is based on Intel Xeon E5-2650L. CPUs with AES-NI help. 2 cores may offer marginal improvement. More than 2 cores isn't

I have tried a Banana Pi Pro 1,2 GHz Allwinner A20 -> 10 Mbit/s max (debian) Beaglebone Black 1 GHz AM335x -> 12 Mbit/s max (debian) Intel NUC5CPYH Celeron N3050 1,6 GHz to 2,16 burst -> 5 Mbit/s max (OpenBSD) So I need something quite a bit more than I have already tried ;-)

I'm a little surprised that this kind of question is not documented anywhere, or at least I have not been able to find it. I have only found others asking the same question as me without getting a good answer. There was a quite exhaustive discussion seven years ago:

Hi Weston, thanks for adding an exit relay. Please do not forget to set/update the MyFamily parameter in your torrc configuration to tell clients your relays belong to a single operator, otherwise they might use your relays in multiple positions within a circuit, which is rather bad for their
