Hi Paul, Thanks for running a relay for Tor! I own multiple Bridge Nodes following the recent events and what I've seen to have noticed is that they don't need much work. I have dabbled with running Exit Relays however I have faced many DMCA notices which I couldn't manage. I would be happy to

Thanks Roger, That helped a lot. The big piece I was missing was that hiddenservices are on v3 now (clearly I've not been paying attention here). And I misunderstood HSDirs thinking they were in the data path not just the look up so could collude on traffic timing. I guess lookups are part of

Re: [tor-relays] "Safe" ports for exit node that won't attract LEA?

I'd suggest looking at the reduced exit policy. I don't think I've gotten any complaints from Comcast after switching to a customized version of it. Generally speaking, 80/443 is "safe" and very useful. Port 22 (SSH) is very useful, but often generates complaints and I currently don't allow it

Hi guys. I've a relay running on Tor. It's an exit node now. And I noticed it has an entry guard flag which is great. But probability of it being an entry relay is 0%. How can I utilise this server to be an entry relay? How does one configure this and how does it

Yeah, I've read the lifecycle of a new relay but since I'm running exits, I thought it might try to use more of my bandwidth by default. So I'm not sure if it's just the warmup period or if it's something I've misconfigured. I'm also not sure if it's just a limitation of the hardware I'm
