[tor-relays] Please help profile Tor 0.2.5.4
Nick could use your help identifying potential bottlenecks in the 0.2.5.4-alpha release by profiling your relay. This is especially useful on high bandwidth relays (> ~50 Mbit/s). https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/11332 Ideally, attach your report(s) to the ticket (you can use cypherpunks/writecode as login if you don't want to create a user).

Surely if a country or ISP doesn't want Tor users on their network we shouldn't try to circumvent their blocks, right? I don't buy it. I'm glad that people are thinking about censorship resistance for both ends of a Tor circuit.

Re: [tor-relays] Usefulness of very limited exit policy nodes?

It all depends on whether or not you want to 'put up' with the potential 'hassle', which could be slightly different compared to as if it was in a datacenter somewhere. If your ISP is informed that you're an exit node, then great. Just remember, you will be mixing your own personal traffic with Tor traffic, that is the main issue I think you might face. I honestly think that you would be better off being a bridge, especially if you have a change of public IP address every now and then, like most home lines. --Matt ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

If you don't mind the odds of the queens best afp waking you up and borrowing all your stuff for a while till they figure out it probably wasn't you who posted that crap on the web... then you're fine. Letting your ISP know you're running an exit would probably also help you there. > had it up for a few days and the bandwidth is being used. That answers that part of your usage question, some people get no traffic thus do other things. > running as a relay? Depends on you mostly.

Most abuse comes from http/s web cretins and sometimes filesharing. Though the infocalypse horsemen are always a threat. Specific authenticated and encrypted protocols like ssh, imaps, pop3s, submission, xmpp, and so on tend to be quiet. Just read through the archives of this list, other answers are all there. Exit boilerplate and complaint templates, exonerator, and so on. ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
