This is a newbie question, but I'm not sure where else to ask it.
I had an older desktop box from a decade ago, so I put Debian tor on it as per
the directions and set it up as a middle node (exit policy to reject *:*) at
home. I added arm and vnstat to be able to look at it. I've never done anything
with tor before, so I know nothing but what I've read in the past 2 weeks.
My question is about bandwidth. I made a mistake at first with Kbytes and
kbits, but currently have it set at 200KBytes steady, 300KBytes burst. This
translates in the default arm display to 1.5Mb/s and 2.3Mb/s. I use Verizon
Fios. When I did a speed test from Verizon, I got 60 Mbps up and 70 Mpbs down.
I currently have not set any accounting max daily limit. It seems to me that I
could add 10 times the bandwidth and still be at 15/23 Mbps out of 60-70 Mpbs,
or only a quarter of my total bandwidth.
Were I to do this,
1. would we notice at home, where we don't stream video; just run browsers and
remote desktop about 8 miles away to work.
2. or would Verizon notice first the bandwidth or the amount of data going
through our connection? Which would be the first limit? Bandwidth or data?
In terms of data, I've already run 11.5 GB through tor yesterday, out of about
a 17GB theoretical maximum at these bandwidth settings. Would 170GB/day be
outrageous to Verizon if I cranked the bandwidth up? Would we notice it?
Hoping someone might be able to add to my vast experience of 3 days up.
