Yes, you do want to run multiple Tor processes on a high bandwidth machine as Tor currently does not scale well across multiple CPU cores. You will notice that you will hit a CPU limit at ~100 Mbps (or ~300-400 Mbps with a CPU that supports AES-NI crypto acceleration). But, currently, you can only run two Tor process per IP address. Relays in the same /16 IPv4 subnets are considered part of one family automatically. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/ _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
