Hi,
Since the end of March I have been operating 4 snowflake proxies. So I would like to share my experience on snowflake proxy operation in numbers. Now I am looking for a reliable mechanism or method to update snowflake versions.
Software details
- Xen paravirtualization - Debian buster - Ansible snowflake role (https://galaxy.ansible.com/nvjacobo/snowflake)
Hardware details
1. 3072 MiB (2 cores) 2. 1024 MiB (1 cores) 3. 512 MiB (1 core) 4. 512 MiB (1 core)
Traffic statistics
Bandwidth by proxies
1. 48.83 GiB 2. 48.83 GiB 3. 36.73 GiB 4. 28.00 GiB
More details (snowflake-vnstat.txt attached)
Thanks, Jacobo

Hardware details
- 3072 MiB (2 cores)
- 1024 MiB (1 cores)
- 512 MiB (1 core)

- 28.00 GiB
They look pretty interesting. 3 and 4 have moved significantly less bandwidth, could that be related to having less ram? It looks like 1 and 2 have moved the same bandwidth. Maybe the 'ideal' is to have 1024MiB of ram?
Now I am looking for a reliable mechanism or method to update snowflake versions.
Note that we are working on a debian package: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf... But it will take some months to get into debian, so it is not really an option to update snowflake for now.
Thanks for running the proxies.

I will add systat statistics and back next month

:)
Meanwhile I'm going to add a tag to the ansible role for update
Thanks, Jacobo
