Can i set up a 2nd relay node in the same machine and the same IP address as my 1st relay node?

Best regards,

Nobody forces you to have a second relay, it’s just best practice and the reason for that best practice is to have redundancy in case of Internet or power failures, of hacks or DDOSes, or of providers adopting an anti-crypto policy, …

And for that redundancy, a second relay on the same machine as the first one makes very limited sense.

Thank you for the reply. The second relay will not help the bp in any other way then what you described above then?

In that case i will go with just one relay for now.

Best regards,
