Re: [tor-dev] estimating traffic/bandwidth needed to run a Tor node

2016-05-24 Thread Razvan Dragomirescu
Hello everyone and thanks for the quick answers, To clarify this a bit, some of my nodes will be simple clients (not offering any services to the network), others will be hidden services (offering their services). They can also be a combination of the two (services may contact other services over

Razvan, Your email is confusing. To host a Hidden Service you do not need to be a Tor node - we call them relays in the common terminology. So, a relay relays traffic for Tor clients. This will consume as much as you give. You can throttle the relay bandwidth rate / burst or limit the traffic con

Hello everyone, I'm working on an Internet of Things project and Tor will be a part of it (Hidden Services to be more precise). The nodes however may be battery powered or have slow (or metered) Internet connectivity, so I'm trying to estimate the traffic patterns for a fully functional Tor node.
