Aha, that must be why previous requests to rt.torproject.org went unanswered?

I'd think it would be useful to know how if possible to do this for those who run torbrowser only on windows. > > Also, Tor Browser isn't a relay by default, and it's a poor way to operate > a relay.

The 24/7 low-power rig on which I currently run bridges runs on an old Intel Atom D2550 processor which doesn't accept graphical UI linux & I haven't gotten around to looking into command-line versions.

I keep at it out of perversity. - eliaz _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
