So my bridge relay has been running fine in the weeks since I set it up, the usage summary is showing up to eight or nine different countries, no trouble is showing up in the logs. Memory usage seems a little high running on Vista_ x64 but I can live with it. I still have a little concern that some bad actors are walking across the bridge, but I guess there's nothing to do about that. The problem is that I'm doing everything on one machine and have to stop Tor for 20 minutes or an hour every four days or so to do some housekeeping, and I'm not sure if the disruption that may be causing warrants my putting in a dedicated machine. I've written ShutdownWaitLength 40 into torrc; since I mostly run the bridge but don't log onto the network much myself, I've also set KeepalivePeriod 7200 (2 hours). Are there are other torrc options that will help mitigate the effect of the shutdowns? I also reboot my gateway (the router/modem firewall) once every day or two and I don't know how disruptive the resulting change in bridge address is. Any advice as to best practice would be appreciated. - eliaz -- gpg: 0xC3E1E38D _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
