[tor-relays] Tor and Freenode

Hello all, after yesterday watching "State of the Onion", a speech held at 31C3 recently, I spontanuously decided to also run a Tor relay. After some back and forth it appears to be running fine on my OpenWRT based router. The only ORPort is 9001, which is also the only hole punched into the fi

Re: [tor-relays] Tor and Freenode

Your idealism is noble, but it isn't going to work that way. IRC networks aren't going to open up to Tor more than Freenode already does, for the simple reasons that it makes controlling trolls and spammers absolutely impossible. You should probably run a middle relay until you've learned more

Hi, I've been running a few relays for about a week, so I'm fairly new to all of this fun stuff as well! I think you've missed a few steps, and have over-reacted a bit to the new technology. There are many reasons why you cannot, and should not, connect to the network from an exit relay. B

Re: [tor-relays] could smoothing/smearing a consensus weights change makes sense

I also think that, once a server is running for weeks (or month(s) ?) it could be usefull if the bandwidth authorithy system is able to "lock" a good speed based on the server history. Instead of "rising, falling, rising, falling, rising, falling" in unstable loop, because if it's day or night,
