Certainly. You will need to create a torrc configuration file (/etc/tor/torrc, /etc/tor/torrc2 and so on) for every Tor instance you want to run, and create a new data directory (/var/lib/tor, /var/lib/tor2 and so on) as well. Make sure you properly set these settings:
- DataDirectory must be unique. - SOCKSPort must be unique (or just disable it by setting it to 0). - ControlPort must be unique. - ORPort must be unique. - DirPort must be unique. - MyFamily must list the fingerprints of your other relay instances (but don't do this for bridges). - ContactInfo must be set on all relay instances. - It's convenient to make Nickname unique as well.
Note that you can only run two Tor relay instances on one IP address. I believe that bridges are excluded from this rule.
After that you can spin up the new relay instances with `tor -f /path/to/torrc`. On OpenBSD I just symlink the rc.d scripts and add the -f flag, I imagine that something equally simple can be done for systemd-based systems as well.

The Debian package comes with the very helpful "tor-instance-create" script, which takes care of basically everything (see "man tor-instance-create").
Kind regards, Alexander

Thanks to this I've finally got to client functionality, but that the torrc contains is "+SockPort auto" (and I am unfamiliar with that "+". I'm letting this run for a while until I can configure a plain vanilla relay again, but it's a good start! Many thanks.
The German ones are running on three servers:

So, your answer to this is: Yes
Contact me if you need help with the setup

Are running on separate networks, but I just found out OVH allows for several different IPS on the same VPS. Is it possible to run more than one tor instance on the same machine? Thanks.
Thanks very much.

Yes, maximum is 2 relays on one IP.
