- hatware 5y agoCan you elaborate? How would running a bridge impact latency?
- goodpoint 5y agoThe advice (from years ago) was that the Tor network is bandwidth-aware but not very latency aware. It requires bridges, relays and exit nodes to build a circuit and communicate. The client does not know what latency exists between the chosen nodes when builds a circuit. If the nodes are located in large datacenters in good locations you'll have acceptable latency relatively often. If they are on residential ISPs it might not be the case. Perhaps things have improved in the meantime. https://community.torproject.org/relay/relays-requirements/ https://community.torproject.org/relay/relays-requirements/ does not mention latency.
