Hi all,
As a Public Service, I've installed tor on my VPS and configured it in bridge mode. I see these lines at the end of /var/log/tor:
Code:
Oct 11 15:02:10.213 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working.
Oct 11 15:02:10.213 [notice] Bootstrapped 100%: Done.
Oct 11 15:02:10.213 [notice] Now checking whether ORPort ###,###,###,###:9001 is reachable... (this may take up to 20 minutes -- look for log messages indicating success)
Oct 11 15:04:06.492 [notice] Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the outside. Excellent. Publishing server descriptor.
Oct 11 15:05:10.225 [notice] Performing bandwidth self-test...done.
But then nothing. Just nothing.
Is it now working? What kind of bandwidth is it using? I see from the tor man page the default bandwidth setting is 5MB/s, which could be too high for my VPS, but is there anyone of determining what is actually going on?
Also, I am a math retard: what does 5MB/s work out to on a monthly basis? I try to do the arithmetic and come out at an impossibly high number. My VPS has a bandwidth quota of 250G/month, so I need to work backwards from there.
TIA
