The tool “ifconfig” shows the amount of traffic since last reboot. The tool vnstat is nice but you should check what data it stores. Any data collection however small is a fine line with US Federal Wiretapping laws. Be careful. Running a Tor Exit at your home is dangerous, it might be better to run a middle relay. As always thanks for running Tor Exits.

Greetings fellow relay operators,

Do you monitor outbound traffic from your relays by port? I run an exit node relay from my house allowing only "safe ports" that are not likely to generate complaints and I would like to keep an eye on how much traffic is coming from the Tor network through those ports to the Internet. Anyone? Do you use a tool like vnstat on the interface?

Make your day great,
