Hi Landon
600 users are still a lot. For comparison from the 50+ bridges I'm
running only one has 300 users all others are in the range of 5-60. I
think it's not your provider that's throttling but some ISPs / countries
that have detected your bridge and are blocking it. That's not uncommon
and getting a new VPS with a new IP will fix that block but keep in mind
that your current 600 people may lose their ability to connect to the
Tor network and it's not guaranteed that you will get that many users
soon, or ever, again.

Hello,
I am currently using gcore.com <http://gcore.com> as my VPS hosting
provider. I have been running a Tor bridge with them for several years
now. I am supposed to be getting 200 Mbps unmetered bandwidth.
However, in the past six months, my bandwidth usage has been declining
a lot. It seems like they might be throttling my server. I was getting
over 2000 connected clients and now I'm down to less than 600. "iftop"
shows me about 30 to 60 Mbps bandwidth usage during any time of the
day. Take a look...

So, I am trying to find a Tor friendly VPS provider that offers 1 Gbps
unmetered bandwidth. I found my current provider in an article
describing Tor friendly providers, but I cannot locate that link.
I am currently paying about 15 Euros a month for a server with 2
cores, 4 GB RAM and 100 GB SSD. I would like to pay about the same for
my new service. In my search, I have found some better providers, but
they don't seem to be Tor friendly.
Do you have a good provider that you really like that offers
inexpensive VPS? I would prefer one located in the USA if possible,
but I guess it doesn't matter if the bandwidth is good.
