Hi, > if i have these relays running it kills a 10Gbps fiber optic line
this sounds like a configuration issue on your router, relays tend to establish tons of concurrent connections and some routers either can't handle it or think it's some sort of attack - especially if you run three relays all routed through the same router - the relays will likely end up sharing source and destination IP's, making it even more likely to trigger built-in filters. Do you have any reason to rate-limit the entire virtual machine, instead of just the tor instance? If not, I'd advise you to deploy rate limiting by using the tor configuration file, instead of Proxmox - last time I used PVE the rate-limiting was severely broken, and on some customers VM's, it even broke completely - no rate limiting being applied at all or network access being cut off randomly, despite having sane settings. Tor has plenty of variables you can tune to rate-limit each instance, take a look: https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en#BandwidthRate https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en#AccountingMax > Each VM is limited to 1Mbps via proxmox. Assuming this was just a typo, but if not, please fix it or get rid of PVE's built in rate-limiting entirely. - William On 09/04/2021, John Csuti <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I am hosting 3 VM's limited at 10Mbps all together.
