The firefox settings are the same across platforms. It shouldn't matter if it's a mac, windows, or gnu/linux. torbutton and the prefs.js from the torbrowser bundles should address them. Again, I say "should" because we haven't spent much time analyzing os x.

Tor-friendly dedicated hosting
My apologies if there's some canonical source for this I'm missing. I didn't see anything in the archives of the list for the last couple of months, and I don't remember seeing anything like this any time recently. Doubly my apologies if this comes across as a commercial message or other content that isn't welcome here. My soon-to-be-former dedicated hosting company, 1&1, has informed me they are terminating my account at the end of this billing cycle (~1 month). The reason for this is repeated DMCA notices about my tor node (clanspum). I didn't get much warning about this. There have been a total of 5 (including the one with the "get lost" note attached) forwarded to me by their legal department at a rate of about one per month. I don't know what started this trend, as I hadn't had one in the 3+ years before that running an exit on one of their machines. They haven't explicitly referred to Tor in their notices, but I had it running on its own IP, so I can be sure it isn't one of my local users. Each notice was responded to promptly with the EFF's form response, tailored to the notice. Oh well. Anyway, I'm currently looking for another hosting company. In the short term I'll be moving to a VPS so that I don't have a gap in service, but that's not an appropriate place to run a Tor exit from for a variety of reasons. Can anyone recommend a hosting provider that won't can me for responsibly running a Tor server? Or, barring that, help me figure out what I need to be asking? My budget is up to about $150/mo. The current server is a "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+" with 2GB RAM and dual 250G SATA drives, with an allowance of ~1.5Tb/mo transfer. Most of that transfer is/was Tor. My usage is email, web and miscellaneous shell stuff. Other than the tor server, there isn't much going on here that would cause the ire of a provider. So far I've been asking about SWIPing IPs to me (so that I can receive abuse@ and deal with it appropriately). However, not a lot of providers are willing to do that without a good reason. Thanks for any input you have. As well, as you can imagine, my node is down until I get this resolved. -- Bill Weiss Scissors Kills Paper, Rock; Turns Blade on Self -- Tomboko, plastic.com *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

hi,
sorry to say so, but Tor it will *NOT* be aware of traffic before it
starts accounting, better watch you wallet ;)

Consider traffic before setting AccountingStart in the middle of an accounting period.
Dear Tor folks,
my server plan only includes 1 TB of traffic. Since traffic increased
quite a bit during the last few days [1] I have to limit the volume to
not go bankrupt.
In `man torrc` [2] I found AccountingMax and AccountingStart. My
accounting starts let us say at April 2nd and I just set
Accounting{Max,Start} and reloaded Tor on April 12th.
Will Tor consider traffic before in its accounting? That information is
quite crucial to me.
Thanks,
Paul

Ok, it looks like they do not limit the bandwidth. Since April 13th traffic increased quite a lot [1]. So it looks like it just took longer to get my exit node propagated to the network.
