Hi,
I have been discovering simple and secure way of protecting the Tor key
files recently, in order to achieve the safety of the keys on VPS.
So I created a folder on Linux called /tor and it is stored in the RAM file
system. I put my key file into that folder and link it back to the data
IMO cut and paste in the situation you're describing is not the
perfect way. Better way would be:
Have a secure linux machine running an sshd at your home (or another
physically-controlled location?).
Close off iptables and ip6tables for inbound sshd except for your
vserver's IP
(hint:
