I'd like to reduce the hop count of both client and onion (perhaps to an rp) in order to speed up SSH access. I own both ends and it's not public, so I don't need the full 7 hops. I could go with four (client entry mid entry hs), or even down to two (client mid hs). Essentially your own 'offshore'

In raspbian the clock is sync via NTP for default. And because of the permanent internet connectivity I think this isn't a issue for Tor. But maybe I add a RTC to my Raspberry Pi as it is described here: http://learn.adafruit.com/adding-a-real-time-clock-to-raspberry-pi Best regards, Sven On 1

Hi adrelanos, currently I only get about 1 MB/s over the secondary network interface. But I didn't test if there is a possibility to improve the speed. Currently my internet connection is the limit :( So 1 MB/s are enough for me. Best regards, Sven On 10/31/2012 8:39 AM, adrelanos wrote:
