I’m not advertising, but I run a nonprofit organization that offers instances 
to run Tor exits that burst up to 1 Gbit/s for $15/month with no caps on data 
transfer and guaranteed bandwidth. One person who runs an exit within this 
group has the fastest exit in Canada at this point. $15/mo is three cups of 
coffee from Starbucks, a meal at a restaurant, or going to a movie. I have been 
told that this is an excessive charge and quite frankly some of the excuses I 
read were ridiculous.

Do people really need to pursue corporate sponsorship when you can get fast 
exits starting at $15/mo? Get three guys to give up a cup of coffee and you 
have an exit. Done.

There’s other organizations as well, but I just brought up my own because, 
well, I know my own pricing the best.

Livak-

Would you like to have a server dedicated just to you? I’m game, I’ll even chip 
in, if you put some skin in the game. I have some conditions:

1)  It has to run a BSD Operating System

2)  No Corporate sponsorship. Corporate Sponsors want governance, which we 
don’t want. A sponsor is never hands off.

3)  You must find some people that are willing to chip in to pay for the 
bandwidth costs of this server. I’m not going to completely sponsor you. I have 
spent enough supporting Tor exits over the past three months.

4)  Over 9000?

Excluding colocation costs, power, and all of that stuff I pay, it’s about 
$85/server, and I’m estimating here, so you’re probably winning in the end. Get 
a couple of people to throw you $10, you throw in a couple of bucks, then bam, 
done. Easy day, mission accomplished, and not in the Bush way either.

Thanks,

Conrad

[tor-relays] Congrats to Nullvoid

[Conrad Rockenhaus]

I just wanted to say congratulations to Nullvoid, who is currently running the 
second fastest exit in France in my colo in Europe.

https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/51420DFB2047A33803A9A6E456D627937DD6E316

Also, go FreeBSD!

Thanks,

Conrad

allowing port 25 on purpose or accidentally?

consider updating that tor version

Either way, up to the operator, some do it for the lols.

Not a problem with FreeBSD.

Switch over to https and latest...

/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf:

  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest";,

and run 'pkg upgrade' .

If it's a shared box, you probably also want
devcpu-data,  and optionally cpupdate.

Luckily, the instances aren’t running on shared boxes, each user runs on their 
own XenServer HVM instance, so they have dedicated control of their own 
instance. What Nullvoid does is basically up to him at this point, but I 
strongly agree with the recommendations that everyone is recommending.

Egads. I had no idea HTTPS wasn't the default for pkg. I've just updated my 
relays to fix that.

Seem to recall, as with most re Spectre Meltdown FPU Etc,
the Xen fixes require pairing of microcode and kernel support.
Didn't look at it much so DYOR as needed.

Regardless, unless local testing indicates otherwise,
running any CPU / hw without latest ucode firmware
could be foolhardy.

As is continuing to clamor for, publicly support, and buy,
anything that isn't...

#OpenFabs , #OpenHW , #OpenSW , #OpenDev , #OpenBiz

That's another topic elsewhere.

To bootstrap with that you'll have to install ca_root_nss manually.
There's way to do that and other bits automagically over TLS,
but it takes much setup, isn't ideal, nor free of various trust.


Some opensource OS's still resist even the most basic
of things privacy / integrity / traceability / reproducible,
for no unsolvable reasons, for years.

Ditto topic.


At least people are starting to progress both topics now.
