Content-wise, there were some pretty fruitful discussion, but we spent quite a bit of time on questions that recurr at other meetups too:
- What's the most useful thing I can bring to the network? (TL;DR: Ideally, fast relays (if possible exits); if you can't contribute more than 1MB/s, make it a bridge)
I like 1MByte/s (8MBit/s) as the "limit" between relay vs. bridge, currently we mention 16MBit/s and 2MBit/s in the documentation:
https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#HowDoIDecide https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#RelayRequirement...
I'll go ahead and make 8 MBit/s the lower limit (and keep "It is recommended that a relay have at least 16 MBit/s (Mbps)") unless there are strong opinions against it.
Can I run my relay on a Raspberry Pi (or similar) ?
Why does my relay (or Internet connection) die once I have TLS connections established to most other relays? (This instance was likely caused by an ISP-provided router with bad TCP connection tracking.)
we tried to cover this in the guide: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#BandwidthandConn...
- Why doesn't Tor support IPv6 yet?
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#IPv6 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/IPv6RelayHowto https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/roadmaps/Tor/IPv6 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/roadmaps/Tor/IPv6Features
Those are all somewhat simple, and I think we would definitely benefit from having better, and more visible, FAQs for those. I will try to take the time and make/improve wiki pages for those, but I wouldn't mind some help from one of the website-makers to see how we can make it more visible.
I added an entry for "The Tor Relay Guide" on the website: https://www.torproject.org/docs/installguide.html.en
I'm not sure if naming this section "Expert guides" is the right thing, since you do not need to be a Tor "expert" to run a relay. I might submit a branch to get that wording changed or start a discussion (if needed) on tor-dev about it.
I'm planing to go over the relay section of the FAQ on www.tpo and provide a branch for review, do you have commit privileges for the website and would be up to review and commit my changes? https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#relay
Some questions in that section do not actually belong to the relay section, like: "I want to run my Tor client on a different computer than my applications."
I'm looking forward to community.tpo to have that Tor Relay Guide content - currently located in the trac wiki maybe look a bit more readable :)
