Daniel, No. Part of being a Tor Relay is sticking your neck out a bit for those who can't. No one will fault you if you decide to not run a relay. John On Sep 6, 2016, at 23:08, daniel boone > wrote: Relay Issue: I had a relay up and runnng Saturday. I

Relay Issue: I had a relay up and runnng Saturday. I found my relay Atlas but I did not like what I saw on there. It showed my isp number and my dsl provider so I shut down the relay. Is there some adjustment in the "torrc" file to have that not show. And I do not have any access to a Proxy

[tor-relays] Which OS gives usually the best performance for a relay?

2016-09-06 Thread Farid Joubbi
Hello, I am thinking of setting up a new relay. I know that the hardware in the server is going to be the bottleneck, not my Internet connection. I have a problem deciding on which OS to use for the relay. A few years ago when I had a similar relay going, I had it running on OpenBSD first.

The whole idea doesn't sit right with me. For one, I'm not sure I'd want any more Five Eyes entities running Exit nodes. Most embassies are already a haven for espionage activity. You'd pretty much have to assume they'd be sniffing the exit traffic. Also, with all the other priorities, I kinda

[tor-relays] write-history for exit relays only?

2016-09-06 Thread Philipp Winter
I want to learn how many bytes exit relays forwarded. I assume that the write-history that is published in a relay's extra-info document includes bytes that were relayed as part of the exit's guard and middle role? If so, is there a way to learn how many bytes were written by the relay in its

Couldn't they run a regular relay node instead? This would help them blend in their traffic so to speak while also not having to put themselves at risk of being cut off. On 6 September 2016 04:47:41 BST, Dave Warren wrote: >On Mon, Sep 5, 2016, at 11:24, Kenneth Freeman
