Why aren't you running a tor relay node?

It takes like 10 minutes to setup, costs as little as $5 / mo, and there is no liability, due to no unencrypted traffic touching the internet.

So go do it.

Because I don't support people who have anything to hide.


j/k, been running one for months now.
 
Because I'm a technical moron and half the words you use in your posts scare me, due to my ignorance.
 
If you use Tor can't someone use your IP to download CP or something? I don't think you can always use the 'it wasnt me it was tor' excuse.

It doesn't slow your shit down? Just browsing with the Tor browser is a fraction of the speed of a normal browser for me.

Dedicated $5 - $10 / mo server means it doesn't affect anything else you do.

If it was an exit node, sure - there's a risk. I'm talking about a relay node, where nobody can connect to the internet from your machine, just to other tor nodes. This still helps tor a lot. People have used the "it was tor" defence successfully though.

which is why one might choose to set it up on a server paid for with bitcoin. If more people where willing to host exit and relay nodes, it would be reasonable to expect the same immunity that ISP's currently enjoy.

But before you go and setup your TOR node, go and unlock your WIFI password. Support the Open Wireless movement.

So pay attention and learn. Look into what he's talking about.

I have learned a ton of programming related things by paying attention to what users like mattseh and (O_o) talk about.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.
 
So the idea is that you create a VM somewhere like digital ocean or linode with debian as the OS, then follow this guide.

https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian - aka apt-get install tor, edit the config file, service tor start, wait a few days for it to become properly part of the network, masturbate furiously over bandwidth graphs.

Our policy is exactly as stated in our TOS, you will be responsible for the sub-users that connect to your TOR service, if there is abuse that is a result of your sub-users we do not have a way to differentiate that so it will be as if your account was abusive, which will get flagged by our backend and lead to your account being suspended and virtual servers destroyed. We do not recommend running open services where any user can connect and possibly be abusive as it will all fall under your account and can lead to service interruptions for you.
