A single pi can push about 600 kb/s. This includes a lot of circuit requests and other encryption. Thinking of buying some more.

My tor nodes (bridge relay) on my Pi seems to go into "Relay unresponsive" and sometimes crash with what looks like circuit storms, experienced any of that on the Pi?
- Ihmahr 13y ago
  No, not really. What happens sometimes is that there is insufficient memory. This happens if you do a lot of apt-get update and upgrade, or run other stuff. My relay just starts at boot and then does nothing else. EDIT: I chose 600 kb/s because this means that my cpu (almost) never hits 100%, but is still pretty active.

Interesting - I've been thinking about doing this for a while. So I take it from the atlas page that you are running a standard (non-exit) relay?
- Ihmahr 13y ago
  Yes. As you can see my first relay started out as an exit relay, but my fascist ISP (whom I can not choose or contact) kept on blocking my router's mac address, which made my relay unstable. Since I am not an exit anymore the relay has been running fine.

    You can't contact your ISP? Will they contact you if you stop paying?
    - Ihmahr 13y ago
      I wish and I would. But I am co-located with facilities I cannot choose. (Yes, I am a student). Also housing is too difficult to be able to move out.

I noticed you seem to be in The Netherlands (from the Atlas GeoIP lookup). Have you heard of the organization "Hart voor internetvrijheid"? For what I've understood, they try to increase the number of Tor relays and exit-nodes.
