Yes, I use -global-rate XXX -per-session-rate XXX. I have got a script which asks for the bandwidth available per month and automatically calculates the necessary digits for those variables.
What about profit but zero effort uses for idlers?
If it were that simple the providers would run it themselves and don't sell so cheaply.
Then it wouldn't be an idle chicken, it'd be an investment.

This would be problematic. It is like Tor Exit Nodes from what I read - many providers don't accept this.
Oh I just looked it up and you are right. Now I'm interested. How do I contribute?
Go to https://www.ntppool.org, register account and you can start adding your servers. Their guide is now outdated but it's still simple: install ntp daemon (I recommend chrony), edit the config to allow serving external connections, set up some upstream time sources, restart it and that's about it.
Interesting idea. Just need a guide to follow on how to set it up
Wait so... will this put my vps in the pool? how will it work?
how will others discover my vps?
Yes, when you server get a higher availability score it will be included in the pool (max score is 20 and servers with a score of 10 or higher is included). Others will discover your server once it's included in the pool and when they use any of the pool servers, like pool.ntp.org, 0.europe.pool.ntp.org or 1.north-america.pool.ntp.org for example.
Quick guide using a debian/ubuntu server:
Install chrony:
sudo apt install chrony
Edit the /etc/chrony/chrony.conf file and set your time servers (should not be servers from the ntp.org pool according to the documentation).
add the following the same config file to allow ntp requests.
allow all
Enable chrony, and restart it after you've changed the config file.
sudo systemctl enable chrony && sudo systemctl restart chrony
Open port 123/udp in your firewall. Like this if you're using ufw:
sudo ufw allow 123/udp
Test the configuration from another server or a Ubuntu based desktop with the following:
sudo apt install ntpdate
Query your your NTP server with: ntpdate -q ip-address-or-hostname and see if you get an answer. Add the server to the pool and wait for it to be included in the pool.
Done!
Run anti censorship proxy's
You mean I2P or Freenet or the likes?
Tor bridge signal telegram proxy whatever you want
Thanks, chad. A mix of chatgpt and your tutorial, I put my oracle free tier server for my region out there. It isn't US/EU so it should get ok amount of traffic. I've set bandwidth to 100mbit/sec(even tho server can do "4Gbps").
How long till I get 10 scores+?
For those who are new to the NTP pool, don't forget to set the maximum bandwidth, because if you don't (especially if your server is in an exotic location), bandwidth usage will reach terabytes in just a few weeks.
how would one donate BW for i2p but scheduled to the hours one would be sleeping? I am running a few dockers of services for myself and family
The easiest (but clumsy) way is via cronjob I think.
Simply create a script to start it, and another to stop it. Run the script to start it when you go to sleep, then when you wake up, run the script to stop it.
You could go with running those same scripts in cronjob as mentioned by tentor, but what if you drink some extra coffee, or what if you go to sleep later due to extra work?
