Those are the maximum bandwidth that can be used by Tor constantly and in burst, respectively. set RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst.optionally uncomment Nickname and give a name to your node.That’s the port that will be used by other nodes to connect to yours uncomment ORPort and (optionally but recommended, I guess) change its value to some random available port.uncomment ControlPort 9051 so that ARM can be used to control and monitor Tor.uncomment Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log if you want to avoid a notice in ARM (see below for what ARM is).In this file, the settings you’ll want to look at are: The configuration file to edit is usually, as mentioned there, /etc/tor/torrc: Installing Tor this way also starts it, but the default configuration is not to relay any traffic.
CONFIGURE HOW OFTEN TOR SWITCHES RELAYS INSTALL
Basically:Īnd at the bottom, add (for Ubuntu 11.10):Īpt-get install tor tor-geoipdb Editing the configuration file (torrc) On this part, the Tor project documentation (for Ubuntu and Debian) is good enough (NB: here is the page for Fedora / CentOS / SUSE).
The first step is to configure the package manager to use Tor’s repository, because distribution repositories are, as you know, always outdated. I used Ubuntu 11.10, for other distributions I guess the main differences will be in the way to deal with the package manager. It is however not too complicated, and here’s a tutorial that should give enough details for people not willing to think at every step. Tor say they are always looking for more people to run nodes for their network, yet oddly enough they don’t provide really simple/straightforward instructions to get a relay working without their GUI, which would be the method of choice for server owners.
