Without 80 and 443 you will not get an exit flag. Markus > On 6. Jan 2019, at 11:42, Toralf Förster wrote: > > If just 1 port would be opened at an relay, eg. 6697, would this help the Tor > network or would only spammers and DDoS use that port? > > -- > Toralf > PGP C4EACDDE 0076E94E > >

Re: [tor-relays] tor relay - impact on e-mail system reputation

Yup, a few years ago Netflix blocked all VPN Provider IPs and all Tor IPs including middle and guards … they completely ignored that guards / middle could not send traffic to Netflix. After all someone at Netflix read the TLDR about Tor and changed it. > On 26. Nov 2018, at 21:55, ronqtorrel.

Re: [tor-relays] Questions to ask exit node providers

price? just a reminder: to run a tor relay you need a good CPU (newer then 2011 bc of AES in ASIC) and 1 GB HDD + 1-2 gig of ram. Basically the cheapest shit they have. I ran Exists on Scaleways Atom CPUs, worked :) You don’t want an upsell to a shiny fancy 8 core Xeon with TB of SSD storage.
