The Tor Project is switching to Rust

Hmmmm.

My biggest gripe with the Tor project is that it is so slow.

I don't think merely moving to Rust makes Tor faster either. And I am also not entirely convinced that Rust is really better than C.

I had that problem too, very slow on network requests, just change the setting "num_relays_proxied" from 3 to 1 to make it blazingly fast.

You should preface this with some important information about what that does.

There are some trade-offs!

Changing that setting to 1 gives you weaker anonymity guarantees. Using multiple guards spreads your traffic across different IP addresses, making it harder for an adversary who controls a subset of the network to correlate your activity.

Reducing to a single guard concentrates all traffic through one point, increasing the chance that a hostile relay could observe a larger fraction of your streams...
