I believe the 2 and 3 are the same price as the 1 though. At any rate, you should probably compile the latest Tor from source if you can't use the official repository. On Oct 16, 2016 5:12 PM, "diffusae" wrote: > The RPi is good to use as relay with your requirement. You

Re: [tor-relays] Smallest, cheapest, lightest computer for tor relay

The RPi is good to use as relay with your requirement. You can expect a total transfer rate of 11 MBytes (100 Mbits/sec). If you use Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ you cannot use the official Tor repository, but the Raspbian repos (armel) do it as well. The Pi 1 has a significant lower power consumption

Re: [tor-relays] Smallest, cheapest, lightest computer for tor relay

I do run a exit node on a raspberry today. And a raspberry pi 3 can handle 50Mbit/sec (~5Mb/sec both directions.) without any problems. So I would say go for it. The pi are excellent to use as a Tor node. /Fredrik On sö, 16 okt 2016 22:37:51 +0200Farid Joubbi

Re: [tor-relays] Smallest, cheapest, lightest computer for tor relay

A raspberry will do fine as long as you do not expect huge speeds. The CPU is not capable of pushing data very fast. Expect somewhere around 0,5 Mbyte/s (4 Mbit/s). If you go smaller and cheaper you will not reach even that speed. So it depends on what kind of speeds you are after. A relay

Is there a way to know "who" has made this DNS query by reading the cache ? May be you can know there are 30 people have looked for google.com during the last 5 minutes, but "who" has made those DNS queries looks like difficult ? (I'm not an expert on hacking :p ) 16/10/2016 21:28, Tristan : >

Re: [tor-relays] Smallest, cheapest, lightest computer for tor relay

The Raspberry Pi 2 runs Tor just fine, but I have no idea what speeds you can expect since my upload is only 1Mbps. I was using Raspbian Jessie with the official Tor repos. Once everything was installed and set up, the system could literally just sit on a shelf with power and ethernet and be

Humm, I've not checked on the torproject website, tuto how to build a relay/exit... It can be nice to link a tutorial : how to set up quickly and easily a DNS resolver to increase privacy ? May be exit operators can understand it's not really a big job to apt-get install unbound (an example) and

Do people have an an opinion on running postfix on an exit node? I was thinking if I set up a .forward, I might be able to intercept a few abuse complaints before my provider sees them. Thoughts? Cheers, K. ___ tor-relays mailing list

Re: [tor-relays] Why do 40% of Tor exits uses 8.8.8.8 for DNS resolving ?

It's not technically required when setting up Tor, so I think a lot of people just forget about it. When I set up an exit relay, I knew I was supposed to run a local DNS server, but I completely forgot to install it until about a month later when the topic appeared in this list. The other problem

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Reading [1] I do wonder about that. Why do Tor exit relay operators avoid installing a local resolver - or at least simple a cache as shown in [2] ? Adding different nameserver= lines to /etc/resolv.conf than 8.8.8.8 shouldn't be a big thing, or ?
