A few months back, I toyed with running a snowflake proxy on one of my FreeBSD vms. It was as easy as :
pkg search snow
pkg install name returned by the search above
service snowflake start
add the entrey in /usr/local/etc/rc.conf and you're done
And then I forgot about it. Today while doing some maintenance on said VM, I realized that it wasn't running the snowflake proxy, I restarted it.
It doesn't consume much CPU, but does consume bandwidth, as you can see in the graph below :
Bandwidth consumption, you can clearly see when the proxy was started. |
As I don't really remember if I shut the service down, or if it was shut down, I'll monitor the logs for a while and see if the service stays up.
