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
connection to the world wasn't the bottleneck.

As a prospective 100mbit+ exit or relay operator anything I can find to
read about guidelines is awesome. The things relating to legal in

great. Any smaller groups that would take a TORB (TOR noob) let me know :)

Hi
I'm experimenting running my own tor network. To achieve this I'm setting
DirAuthority in torrc.
But it seems that I cannot use a hostname for my DirAuthority. For example:
DirAuthority da1 orport=7000 no-v2 v3ident=xxx da1:7000 xxx
Results in the error:
Unrecognized flag 'da1:7000' on Di
time an IP changes.
There are certainly ways around this (I could have a script populate torrc
based upon DNS, for example) but it would make my life easier if I didn't
have to.

maybe that is an insignificant difference.
I don't mean to make a big deal about this; I'm just trying to explain
some of what was going through my head when reading this stuff. "Fixing"
it can be very simple, like just adding a small phrase like "don't use
these, ev
ry should be your local resolver)"
So is a non-overused same-AS fallback resolver preferable to having no
fallback resolver, or the other way around? Or perhaps this doesn't
matter so much, because the big problem right now is just the reliance
on the 'big' resolvers
ould really use relay-only bundles again, one for non-exit and one
for exit relay. Something simple for osx as a dmg/zip to extract and run
(in a Terminal window at a minimum).
We could use these for Windows too.

Webmail services over port 80 record the clients IP address, in this case it's
your TOR exit node. You will continue to get this, you can try and set it up so
that Spamcop ignores your IP. Otherwise just try to explain the issue to your
ISP and hope for the best.
