# Evolving Our Tor Relay Security Architecture
https://blog.emeraldonion.org/evolving-our-tor-relay-security-architecture
A new blog post where @alexhaydock goes into some detail showcasing our minimalistic @alpinelinux Tor relays architecture, a threat model, and including a link to our now-public open source "Emerald Relays" orchestration framework.
The past 6 months have proven its success, and now we look forward to phase 2 (read the post!), which we need your help in funding. Emerald Onion is a U.S. 501(c)(3) tax-deductible nonprofit, so please consider donating before 31 December! https://emeraldonion.org/donate/

our disobey.net WebTunnel bridge has been updated to tor v0.4.8.19
and our obfs4 bridge has been updated to tor v0.4.8.19

Our lead relay engineer @alexhaydock has increased our stateless #Tor exit relay deployment to 96! (+1 because of the new #RISCV bare-metal node, +1 other we redeployed due to a silly spelling error). We're stress testing our three AMD Epyc 7402P servers that use #Proxmox.
Each one of the 96 Tor exit nodes are diskless Unified Kernel Images, 56MB in total size, using @alpinelinux's alpine-make-rootfs with an absolutely bare minimum number of packages. We'll be publishing more about our new architecture and configuration soon.

8 days in and already up to 2.14 Gbps advertised bandwidth!

This question was not addressed on the AMA, in the end.
I'd still like to know the operators' answer, if they'd like to respond on here. #TorOps

Thanks to everyone who joined our Tor Operator AMA on Reddit and Mastodon! Your questions helped highlight the challenges and rewards of running Tor relays, but also highlighted the importance of Tor relays for online privacy.
The Tor network thrives on its community of operators. If you're thinking of running a relay, join the operators channel on Matrix/IRC, mailing list, or forums. We're there to help you get started!

Can you say more about any steps you take to secure your colocated hardware, including prevention, detection, and remediation? Do you use cameras, special server chassis, etc.? (No details of course: learning what you think is necessary, based on your experience as operators, is useful).
Relatedly, how much do you worry about supply chain attacks and related issues? Would you use Supermicro servers? Juniper switches? Do you worry about disabling ME, etc.?

Join us today for an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session with experienced large-scale Tor operators!
Whether you're a privacy advocate, a network enthusiast, a developer, or just curious – we want to hear from you :).
Post your questions on Mastodon by using #TorOps or on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TOR/comments/1la9zgw/tor_operators_ask_me_anything/.

back in the top 10!
our tor exit relays seem to be more performant after doubling the RAM from 64GB to 128GB
