Kinda confused about the statistical measurements under nyx; When referring to network speed is it not, generally, always referred to in Gigabits per second instead of Gigabytes/Gibibytes per second? Cause if your limit in nyx is set the 1 GB/s then that means the network speed for the tor relay is allegedly 8 Gbps, oversight on the nyx devs using the incorrect unit or what?
It's only cuz the Computer Industry, is trying to move away from the "Bytes", and instead use "Bits", but there's too many old people in the industry, and they use the old system. And it will likely stay that way ehhhh another 15 years or so before the Industry switches to the newer "standard". Also fun fact: If you poke around in Steam Settings, you can toggle your Downloads from Bytes to Bits & back again.
But also seems proper, if he's only using 7MBps, then should be like 56Mbps, so that seems like a reasonable amount.... But then again, 8TB is (86400*31)* some number in MEGABITS, 1Mbps would be 334GB... 7Mbps would be 2.3TB, and ~50Mbps would be about twice his average usage. So 50Mbps circuit usage seems fair; numbers seem to add up. If his node was peaking to 7MBps, but using about 3MBps during "slow times", then I could see this figure aligning with the monthly his published "Quota" in TB. I think this "noob" has his burst set wrong, should be set to like 128MBps. Not 1GBps.
My relay is around 10 days older and I get avg. of around 15mb/s up/down. Total of 150TB while nyx added when you uploaded your second relay video. Maybe you can do a Monero node setup video. Its really useful and helpful to the Monero network. Also you can combine tor and your node.
Thanks for sharing the update but every measurement is 8 times greater than you think because the uppercase B stands for Byte, which is 8 times greater than a bit.
Do you want a suggestion? The bandwidth’s limit of your relay should be the reading speed of your hard disc, because your operating system is limited by the reading speed of the swap partition, regardless of the task your relay is working on.
I recommend Contabo hosting. 5 euro = 4 cores 8GB RAM 50GB NVMe or 200GB SSD and 32 TB monthly bandwith. Hosted two Minecraft servers at the same time on this configuration. No problems at all.
@@somedude-vp9tiI've seen posts saying some services scans and bans all tor relays even when you're not exit so there's a slight risk of disrupting your normal internet activity. I personally don't care since all my normal internet traffic goes through a VPN
I know there are already a bajillion comments to this effect, but Nyx measures bandwidth in bytes, not bits, by default. You can change this setting in your nyxrc, and if you want, you can set the bandwidth rate in torrc as bits with, e.g., RelayBandwidthRate 16 MBits or RelayBandwidthRate 1 GBits. Edit: Minor wording changes.
Kenny, keep in mind that its not only the machine itself, but also the Router in your House. Most consumer Routers/Modems can only handle so much. I know for a fact, that I2P limits the Connections to 700. Thats not total TCP/UDP connections, as some connections use the same tunnel, but overall its taxing the Router way more than just surfing n stuff. The fact, that you are also probably seeding a lot of torrents and that you are also running tor, may just be too much for your Router to handle and not for the machine itself. I personally would check that first. For me the limit is around 500-900 TCP connections at once, till my Router shits itself. I have a low end Fritzbox 7530, which are really common here in Germany. So it might be, that you can push 1GBit/s over a few connections, maybe even a few hundred, but multiple connections is more demanding, than higher bandwidth.
From what I know is that for example the Raspberry Pi 4 has an encryption throughput bottleneck of around 80MB/s for services like Samba. If you start stacking encryption (i.e. when I access its Samba via Hamachi or ZeroTier) the performance drops even further to around 10 MB/s in my case. Using an older, low-power CPU might worsen this problem even more. So the idea of using an i5 is definetly good and will make your node many times more powerful. What I imagine could work too might be a Turing Pi set up with a load balancer or just in general multiple nodes. A53 cores are pretty darn efficient.
-I'm almost sure that CPU is not bottlenecking your configuration.- Even if your ISP claims "up to 1 Gbps" internet speeds, it does not mean that it will be so fast, especially in all directions. That may be a problem, you need to have fast speeds towards Tor measuring nodes. Also you obtained Guard just recently, not many clients added your guard node yet. You can try hack to boost your bandwidth - you need to direct high speed flow of data through your node for ~10 seconds, or better for minute. It is possible to specify exactly which nodes tor client uses, so no problem to do this. It will be interesting for you to learn how to do this exactly :) *upd.* Without AES-NI 25% of load at 1 MiB/s really can become 100% of load at 4 MiB/s. So now relay is totally fine, but with increased load it may have not enough CPU resources.
Clearly you have no experience with the Tor daemon. It is almost certainly CPU bound, as IIRC it runs single threaded and contains a lot of de/encryption.
Heh my isp promised up to 50mbit/s (guess which stoneage internet country i live in) bandwith, yet it is impossible for me to download with more than 6mbs and if i do so the connection speed for all other devices suffers badly causing my ping to slow down from 20-40ms to over 200ms.
@@biigsmokee in this video CPU is used at ~25%. In single thread case it can be loaded 2 times more. In multithreaded, 4 times more. So _now_ CPU is not a problem. In future, if CPU usage goes up to 100%, then, yes, it may cause a problems. But not for sure. If CPU is used by network related functions, then it may stay at 100% of single core while using either 1 MiB/s or 10 MiB/s. Most likely, only network latency will be different at different loads. Latter case happened for my relay, but since my CPU have AES-NI and his CPU do not have it, then, yes, his CPU may be busy with crypto and not network tasks.

Nice update as always. Thanks to your content I got my relay up and running - also an I2PD - but I ran into an issue: Since the relays are running from my home network everytime my ISP resets my external IP - which usually happens in the 24 to 48 hour range unpredictably - the relays are not reachable anymore. I2PD rellay goes berserk and needs 10 times the CPU it normally does in this case - which is also unpleasant whe I am at work and don't notice it... I have to restart them to get them online again manually which is really annoying :( I did think about setting up a second relay on a remote location on a Raspberry PI to help on getting more relays online but with this issue it won't do any good. I can't restart it manually there... Is there a fix for this to get the relays online automatically as soon as the external IP is changed?
Is this a thing now? I've been thinking about that concept for years now but I've lacked the technical ability to capitalize on it. If so that's amazing. That will surely increase the speed and general usability of the network as people get monetary incentive for running relays.

Bandwidth is egregiously misconfigured, those are bytes not bits brother. Also, it looks like you’re running this through an NL vpn according to router dbs (you leaked the name of your node). Can you talk more about how you configured that?
capital B is for byte, lowercase b is bit. the way I think of it, a byte is bigger than a bit, so the letter is bigger B vs smaller b
Thats actually a very effective way to remember it if you're not use to it. I'm going to use that next time I have to explain this to someone.
yes and there is a 8 times size difference between a bit and a Byte. So the difference between 8 terabits and 8 terabytes is huge 😀

Those values are megabits or megabytes? Super misleading. :/ MB always meant megabyte to me while Mbps was megabit/sec.
You should look into a quadcore mod on your t500.
Is there any difference between guard and middle nodes in terms of legality and ISP problems?
5:55 pains me..
We get top speeds of 57mbit download and the only way to increase that would be by paying about 10k to get yourself cables laid to your house.
same thing here but I only get like 40mbit, australia bruh

@@bignig123 is that really the max speed in your area? Mine’s 250Mb/s

ignore my degeneracy, thanks
Cold you tell us! What is the HD or SSD size we need to get a good benefit in to the system???
Nice really helpfull
I tried to set up a Tor router but the ports wouldn't work, even when I opened them or disabled the internet's firewall.
Remember that you can get a T-shirt for hosting a fast relay for 2 months I think it was.
I was wondering why there are no Tor like blockchain services which will reward the nodes with token if anybody uses dat node
hey, how can I connect my tor nodes to the tachyon network of zeta ridicule? I need to look up something from the parallel universe internet anonymously.
Nice
Raspberry pi is really expensive this days that it is much cheaper to just buy thin clients or SFFs with 2-3rd gen i3 at least in my country since most companies that are closing their office are selling it cheaply. It is just without the ram and hdd. I suggest just buy a second hand thin client with quad core amd G series (usually from HP), they are as low power as raspberry pi but powerful enough not to bottleneck your relay....
$30 is expensive? You can make that much in an hour or less for something you're gonna use for years
@@paradiseexpress3639 not in my country though. They are selling it more than $30, but since it is being hoarded also, I expect it to raise in price in the near future....
@@paradiseexpress3639 Not everyone is lucky enough to enjoy high wages like the USA.. Here a Raspberry Pi is half of minimum wage. Really a lot more economic to buy really old computers or laptops with dead batteries.
A reminder to be grateful for what we already have.
Imagine how much loli has gone through this.

but its ok because the flags make you feel epic, and you will get many bump on 4chan but maybe downvote on redoot :(
(Joking ofc, Keep up the good work)

Does Tor relay help my personally, or it’s only about altruism and helping the Tor community?
Can the graph go from right to left? It kind of annoys me as it is right now.
I think you mistook megabits for megabytes several times in the video
Why can't I comment this. Auto-deleted when I mention you can use a slower computer with less bandwidth to run a tor+obfs4 relay (even more secure, not shown on the metrics website, and you can connect to it directly).
Finally, it worked. UA-cam didn't like some words for some reason (puts on tinfoil hat).
@@LeDechaine lol
Why do you use different addresses(for donations) for ETH and ETC? it can be used in same wallet. :-)
That's 8.2 terabytes, not terabits. Capital B
Last time I was this early, Terry Davis hadn't discovered the glowies yet
Wow
@mentaloutlaw I’m moving and have a brand new Raspberry Pi 4 I’d part with for actual reasonable prices as a thank you for your videos. I’d be happy to verify myself to you in private.
Hope you reach him homie, or if you can’t just turn the Pi into a relay yourself 👍🏻
Yeah I'm sure he'll buy your electronics, random comment section person.
Seriously, why even post this?
@@Celastrous Are you that dark that a simple kind gesture escapes all meaning to you?
@@reelenz Offering to sell a Rasp4 for a "reasonable price" is a kind gesture?
@@Celastrous Did you even listen to the video?
Started mine yesterday :)
How did you pixelate the confidential parts of the screen?
The obscure effect in kdenlive
@@MentalOutlaw imagine he reverses that particular blur effect like the FBI did on some deep web dude and he finds out your ip 😳
@@Alexmagno7 I'm pretty sure he already accidentally showed his ip unblurred in the first video
@@Alexmagno7 bro the ISP already told the FBI he’s got sus activity on his connection. A normal person doesn’t have 8Tb of data transfer 24/7 nonstop.
@@mrteco4236 If you’re downloading movies and games you usually do that only a few hours within a month. You never upload the exact same amount of data. You’re not constantly transferring data back and forth like this.
My old laptop couldn't handle a relay and a web server used for Searx instance at the same time :< Maybe if it would have an SSD. I have Thinkpad though, maybe I will use it as a server, since I don't really have mobile use for it.
How much disk space would having V2Dir enabled use?
Do you have recommendations on private computers at all?
A question, how much do you pay for your internet connection??
Will you please make shirts with the 4 eyed cat?
What is the best VPS provider that allows me to run a exitnode?
Bandwidth is egregiously misconfigured, those are bytes not bits brother. Also, it looks like you’re running this through an NL vpn according to router dbs (you leaked the name of your node). Can you talk more about how you configured that?
