Why?
If you actually don't need it why bother using it all?
Set up another VM, and transfer a dataless file back and forth endlessly. add more vm's into the mix til you can just have a massive network of useless traffic doing something but nothing.
YABS it all day long.
What if I have unlimited bw VPS and can't use it all?
If you don't need to use it, don't use it. Just let your low-end VPS provider have a few dimes of profit, and free yourself of however much time it takes for you to set up unnecessary transfers.
Donate the bandwidth to Tor of course
The end is PMSly nigh.
Search does not return anything relevant, link to official site?
i have forgot word useful in my request
i thought that unused traffic of the dedicated server is wasted traffic (why to spend money to run something that is not used), why is it not so, any link or explain here? I am running just a share of the server and i think i should utilize it fully, someone may know about the software like ones have mentioned that would need my traffic.
was unable to find out the meaning of this abbreviation
Your post specifically mentioned VPS. Traffic is most usually over provisioned as most users wont need all of them, why not be a good neighbour?
Hahaha, fucking shithouse. This is why we can't have nice things.
OP's post has the vibes of the "I paid for the whole speedometer, I'm gonna use the whole speedometer" meme.
@stevewatson301
maybe that is your style. my understanding of a VPS is that the node software limits the VPS traffic so in case other VPSs needs traffic they will have it and my VPS will be limited or in another words will use its "equal" share to other VPSs. Try to be more ontopic and answer the question please - about useful software like ones i have mentioned.
this post was useless to me, even i would like to learn from it (something useful) !
This is because you're not open-minded enough to see the lesson.
It's like water. Assume your water is included in the rent (that is the case where I live). Do you leave the water running 24/7 just because you can? If you internet at home has unmetered traffic, do you leave your PC running 24/7 downloading to dev/null?
Even If you can, and it is your right, when you use the remaining traffic, you put stress on the network and reduce the speed others get, that's totally fine, if you need it. But if not, be a nice neighbor, it does not hurt to be nice. That is the concept of shared ressources. Also the traffic does not come for free (from an ecological point of view), the more stress you put on the server + network, the more electricity will be burnt, which is okay, if you need it.
And you do not help me by stopping being lazy ass and explaining in bigger detail at the first place. I am not a native english speaker.
thanks, such reduction can not be significant if i use remaining traffic... or you mean this dedi. uplink usage will have any significant impact other dedis in DC and outside? I still think when the provider rented this capacity, it should be used and not idling and i think that Tor, I2P is good usage of unused resources.
i would like this explained in detail. Maybe the routers would have to use more CPU but i would not think this to be any significant for lets say additional 20 MB/s? But in the past i was also curious what is the energetic footprint of the additional home internet usage. For example if i not use 1MB/s but instead 10MB/s worldwide traffic, how much more electricity is burnt on the way.
Sure, here's one method to utilize the bandwidth of your VPS, by relaying traffic similar to tor. You don't even need to install any additional software for this purpose, and your VPS would be fully secure while at it.
Create the following usernames with the passwords mentioned after the
:sign on your system with the useradd command:Add in the following rules at the top of your
/etc/ssh/sshd_configfile:Also make sure that the SSH port is at 22 as it is crucial for this to work.
Reload the ssh daemon by using
systemctl restart sshdand wait for a few hours, at which point, your VPS's bandwidth should be fully utilized.Electricity is included in my rent.
I leave the computer running 24/7 copying files between my VPSes.

Your message was clear about me, but was absolutely useless to help me understand where i may be wrong and why. So yes, it was useless to me and you are that stupid not to help the world by telling me why i am wrong and how it should be.
and you are not (a people), rather tell something useful (and mainly ONTOPIC, ideally answering question of the topic)
Thanks. But i do not want to participate in some attacks etc.. Your modification gives my such worry. Can i read more on how such configured TCP relay be used/abused by others? (like usage cases..). Was researching a bit, but unable to find out how such config. can be abused exactly.
So only answer to a question in the first post is so far previous comment from stevewatson301
If everyone started thinking like that, we are gonna have a very slow internet.
If it was clear, you would not be responding the way you are.
Take a breath, take a moment and come back fresh. I have faith you will see the message, if you really want to.
or you can take it from other side, If everyone contribute resources to P2P networks like that these can be much more useable
@Nekki
yes your statement "This is why we can't have nice things" was not clear to me, obviously we have not common brain to know what each other thinking, though my comment is useless as you apparently are not polite enough and willing to help by explaining.
I wanted to remind that only answer to question in OP in this long thread was provided in this post
remind us again, big daddy
by encouraging you to post, we are using up your bw for you
As you can see, we've restricted the users to only relay TCP traffic, which inherently prevents attacks through it's 3-way handshake protocol. Command execution is fully disallowed, and I myself run a Virmach VPS with a SSH server that allows relaying traffic.
What the actual fuck.
@BradND
lack of answer to initial OP question and being on topic.
more importantly you are wasting the time of the future users and space of this rather offtopic thread
i thought abuse can be done even via TCP and had no clue such setup prevents attacks, maybe also why i was asking for details that can make me understand in which ways that setup can be used and why it can not be abused. Also i guess setting root password to root and disallowing SSH commands does not look like a good and safe advice. Your setup seems to be too difficult to understand for me - rather low experience Linux user, i do not want to waste your time. Thank you
I initially thought this was a troll post. Then upon looking at OP's post history, I realized that he has absolutely no common sense of any kind.
In short, OP, you need some more human interactions. Get out of that basement of yours.
Then this should help you utilise your bandwidth, and you'll learn in the process.
