[tor-relays] Questions about my tor node

Mailing Lists tor-relays

Hello I'm running a tor node and I paid for a VPS for the express purposes of running that node. I have configured it to use almost all of the bandwidth of the VPS and then to allow bursts to use all of the bandwidth I have also set it to serve directory requests. The server also has 1GB of ram and 1 CPU core. Is this good enough to be helpful in the tor network?

Bobby,

I run a Tor relay on dual core 256MB devices with a 250Gb fiber connection and they are adequate to operate as a fast middle relay.

Monitor your relay on https://metrics.torproject.org/ to verify.

Respectfully,

Gary

Okay thanks for the response. I see that I have the not recommended flag. I try to update my node but it says that it’s up to date I don’t understand what else I can do

Ubuntu ships an outdated Tor version but you can use our own package repository to avoid that. See:

for how to do so.
