Re: [tor-relays] What if my favorite online store websiteblacklists all Tor Relay IP addresses?

I run a tor exit node (CulverCityChuck) using my home Internet (Time Warner). I did used to get blacklisted by Yelp and occasionally Google. I started using an anonymous VPN service for my exit node which gives it a different IP than the rest of my home traffic and haven't had a problem since. C

Re: [tor-relays] What if my favorite online store websiteblacklists all Tor Relay IP addresses?

Re: [tor-relays] Store key files in RAM

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: "ssh-ke

Re: [tor-relays] How to block IP address on exit node relay

Re: [tor-relays] Store key files in RAM

Thanks for the instructions. So what if I set up an L2TP VPN connection from my server to my computer at home which stores the keys and I download the file directly into the RAM folder? The purpose is to avoid storing the file or let the file passing through the local normal storage system on my
