[tor-relays] Few questions about relaying

[teor]

Unless you have a specific need to debug tor (hint: you don't), you should remove this line to improve security:

DisableDebuggerAttachment 0

And please consider adjusting these lines rather than removing them:

RelayBandwidthBurst 25 MBytes
RelayBandwidthRate 20 MBytes

We've found that relays perform best when given a rate slightly under the capacity of the link.
