Re: [tor-relays] Relays or exits: which is needed?

Hi Michael,

Exits are needed most.[1] But if you want to run an Exit be prepared to
deal with complaints. That link should answer your question in depth
although the stats are four years old. It also includes tips to make sure
you run an Exit with minor issues. Although the stats are outdated and the
percentage of Exits have increased over the years, as it states in the post
it is still one of the scarcest nodes. Hopefully others will be able to
provide more information concerning updated statistics. But I believe it
was covered at 30C3 last-year. [2]

Regards,

Jason Odoom

I thought there used to be a FAQ on this, suggesting exit relays.

I do believe exit relays are the most in demand, and most needed to
make Tor enjoyable to use for the broadest number of people.

If there is an excess of exits (won't happen any time soon), they can
just be used as normal relays anyway, so it is ultimately better for
the network to have more exits, at least at this point in time,
AFAIUI.

Right now all I can find doco wise is:

https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-relay-debian
"9. If you run an exit relay (great!), don't miss out on our Exit
Guidelines, including setting your reverse DNS hostname to make it
obvious that you're a Tor exit relay, and serving the Tor exit notice
page on your DirPort."

Please do read in detail:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorExitGuidelines

as well as everything else of any relevance to you at torproject.org

Welcome, and awesome to see solid support for the free speech
networks, in this case tor :)

I'm (hopefully) going to be running a few high-speed Tor servers sometime
in the near future. Which type of Tor server (exits vs. relays) is needed
the most right now?

Thanks.
