Hello,
My tor exit has been building up reputation for months but still fails to saturate a 100 Mbps line while barely using any CPU. Therefore, I recently decided to start a second tor process on the same server which is now slowly building up reputation. I gave the second process a different ORport in order not to affect the first process.
Should that not be enough to saturate the line, I might even have to add a third process at yet other ports. I wondered whether the following is also possible:
1. Run tor process #1 on ORPort 8000, but advertise port 443 2. Run tor process #2 on ORPort 8001, but advertise port 443 3. Run tor process #3 on ORPort 8002, but advertise port 443 3. Run HAProxy on port 443; load-balancing between the three tor processes
Obviously, this would require HAProxy to always route a circuit to the same tor process, since that tor process keeps track of the state of that specific circuit. Source IP stickiness ("balance source; hash-type consistent") would do that.
Would such a setup work?
Thanks, Bram
