Relay Settings

The Relay Settings page manages the Anon client and its settings.

This page offers a variety of settings to customize your Relay, such as:

Nickname Set a desired nickname for this relay, the nickname will be public and makes it easier to identify and manage your relays when running multiple.

Port Set the preferred port for your relay to establish incomming connections on, it is necessary to make sure that the port can be reachable from the Internet and normally requires creating a port forward in your router/gateway.

Email The email address is optional and can be used if you want to make sure other relay operators have a way to contact you for any reason.

Wallet ID Set a wallet ID that you own and will use when connecting to the Rewards distribtion protocol dashboard. If you own an RELAYUP NFT, make sure it is stored on the same wallet address.

NFT ID Input the NFT ID stored on the wallet that is referenced for this Relay. The NFT must stored on the wallet that is referenced in the Wallet ID field.

Bandwidth Settings Set the maximum allowed bandwidth rate the Relay is allowed to consume in Mbit/s. Minimum is 2 Mbps and max is 1000 Mbps, which is the max supported speed for this hardware.

Recurring Data Limit Set the maximum allowed data transfer allowed for a selected period, in days, weeks or months, when the Relay has consumed the defined limit the Relay wil go into hibernation mode and not allow more traffic to be relayed until the period has passed. Mind that the total consumed counter will reset if the Relay is restarted.
