Re: vps
it's up and running now. i followed this https://www.torproject.org/docs/rpms.html.en but my problem is it never got the EXIT status. what could be the problem? i used the same torrc config at home and my home node read as both VALID and EXIT i also noticed in the logs this DNS hijacking warning.

If tor finds that your provider is hijacking name server queries, then it is likely to refuse to operate as an exit and will publish discriptors containing a rejection of all ports as an exit policy.

If you're looking for a truly easy way to get started, I'd like to recommend you take a look at PC-BSD 8.0 (see www.pcbsd.org). It seems to take most people, beginners included, about 20 minutes to install and get running. A couple of days ago, a new book by Dru Lavigne was announced on the freebsd-announce list. I'll try to forward you a copy of the announcement off this list. Scott Bennett, Comm.
