[tor-relays] Traffic limitation

[Contra Band]

One way is to limit the bw in /etc/tor/torrc 

RelayBandwidthRate 100 KB

Long term you have to get at least 2TB vps or unmetered bandwidth. Once the relay is stable there will be lot of connections.

That is quite a low limit for a monthly cap. If it is a high speed
server it will consume the traffic within 5 days, after some time and
it's known in the consensus and gains some flags.

I think you are better of putting accounting per day, a daily limit of
16GB should do it. Or, see if you negotiate with your provider
unlimited traffic :) long shot worth to try
