The 500 Mbps instance would either be one of my private servers in my co-lo, or a dedicated server in one of my private cloud hosting locations. With both contacts, bandwidth costs aren’t an issue, but if one big instance would work I would put it on the same hardware that I am running a server

This is why I chose to run multiple 100 Mhz nodes. I over-advertise the capacity, so that some of them get a bit more traffic than they really should, because the bwauths under-measure NA relays and, worse, keep changing their measurements for no apparent reason. On the same bare metal box one r

2018-02-10 Thread nusenu
Dear Tor Exit Operator, I'm sending you this email to inform you that on 2018-01-20 the requirements for exit operators changed. Since that date your exit policy MUST allow exiting to port 80 _and_ 443 to be eligible for the exit flag. If your exit policy does not meet these new requirements,
