2016-08-03 Thread Andrew
Hi, I've got a spare server for two (freebsd) and I'd like to start running TOR relays on them. Is there any security concerns I need to deal with, or is the ports compile + updates good enough to keep my systems decently secure. I actively monitor the machines, but as you know, the game is prev

Hi, I'm running a relay on debian jessie using packages from deb.torproject.org. I want to share the problems I had so others are aware of them when upgrading their relays. While upgrading from 0.2.7.6 to 0.2.8.6 via apt-get, I did a tail -f syslog to make sure I notice problems during the up

I think that the purpose was not being famous or recognized but just having more kindness. The fact is that a lot of Tor users don't even know which relay they are using and how to get the informations of the exit relay they're using, meaning that they will actually never thank anyone of running e
