Running a Tor Server as a Tax Deduction?

2009-07-07 Thread Ringo
Hey, I was thinking about how to get more companies/organizations to run Tor servers and then it hit me that maybe the expenses associated with doing so could be taken as a tax exemption. It's hard to convince a company to run a Tor server, but if it's in their financial interest, you might have a

Question: Hidden Services, Virtual Machines, and iptables

2009-07-07 Thread Ringo
Hey Tor users, My work to write a how-to manual for setting up and securing hidden services is well underway, but I've got a question that's been getting at me. Obviously, hidden services are the 'most secure' when they're run inside a virtual machine (qemu, vmware, etc. pick your poison). One co
