Hiya, so been on the lookout for different services that I could help host for others to benefit from. I think TOR is a great project, and I’d like to contribute. So been thinking about hosting a TOR relay lately, and wondering how people’s experience is with running one? Please correct me if I’m wrong - but as far as I know, it only becomes “scary” to host, if you were to host an exit node? And the only real requirement to host a relay is to have a good internet speed? Mainly wondering people’s experiences with running a relay.
Edit: Very well-timed and relevant upload from Techlore, on how to use Tor just dropped: https://youtu.be/K3wmLvny5tg
If you do, do it in a vps. Because, if you do it at home, your isp won’t be too keen on your traffic.
Mainly true for exit relays. I do not recommend trying to run an exit relay from home at all. If you run a middle relay though you should be mostly fine.
Yeah that might be a good idea
