Good work Chris - not sure if you know yet but what sort of price per month and is it vps or dedicated? Cheers Mark B > On 9 Dec 2016, at 14:17, Michael Armbruster wrote: > >> On 2016-12-09 at 15:09, Chris Adams wrote: >> Okay, >> >> So I've found a ISP in Kenya that says

Okay, So I've found a ISP in Kenya that says they're happy to host a tor exit node. The ping is 270ms from a Canadian ISP, 16 hops. 183ms from Germany, 13 hops. Ultimately, am I making the tor network better or worse, if I were to set up some tor nodes here? - Chris On Fri, Dec 9, 2016 at 8:41

Hi folks, I think it would be interesting to run relays in Africa and Asia. Especially Africa, as this area has growing internet usage, and censorship of the internet in some countries is not widespread, e.g. Liberia. Another argument is that even if there is censorship, having more relays in

Re: [tor-relays] Exit Node Geographical Location

Exit nodes with equal bandwidth may well do. Unfortunately that one is now a Guard do throughput will probably go down. US just has alot of people trying to exit there - so its always busy - I find Tor follows the money mostly - high concentration in W.Europe and US but drops sharply anywhere

Re: [tor-relays] Exit Node Geographical Location

Interesting... Don't exit nodes with equal bandwidth have equal chance of being utilised on a circuit? Why is your US exit being utilised more? Looking at the map, I thought Canada could do with a few more exits? Should geo diversity be related to numbers of internet users in that country? Ie,

Re: [tor-relays] Exit Node Geographical Location

Ive got exits in the US, France ,Finland (dead) and Bulgaria but its v difficult to find any exit providers in the Far East - I have relays in Bangalore and Singapore (which gets hit pretty hard) but if you do find a provider out East let us know P.s Bangalore is under utilised - 60mb/s but

[tor-relays] Exit Node Geographical Location

Hello, I want to start up another exit node. I have a few choices for which country it's in. I currently live in a country with quite a high exit node/population density. Are there any advantages to distributing nodes around the globe in terms of performance/privacy? Are there some countries
