How I Run Tor Relays at Home

In this video I discuss what I've learned after running a Tor Relay for over 3 days. Here's some helpful links to help you with setting up your relay

YOLO of the day - Set up a Tor exit node on your work computer.

[KadeDev]

I never respected someone so much for saying "used the arch installer, nothing much."

so modest.

I never took my online security so seriously until I started watching these videos 😂

[spooky]

That "Im running Arch btw" was hilarious

[patmcn]

*UPDATE* My malicious relay is goin great! Thanks so much!

[Vermino]

If only we all ran exit relays. Sooner or later the judges will put their foot down on bringing cases of innocents showing up to court because cops think they are doing something illegal.

[francoisdupont]

Running an exit node is also a layer of defense when using a VPS as a proxy. Use a reseller that takes crypto and host a Tor relay to scramble your web traffic.

"GTFOGlowie" what a great account name for this thinkpad lol.

[ErikUden]

For every TOR exit node, one glowie dies.

Look at your "observed" bandwidth. This is what limits your relay usage. Also you don't have Guard flag.
Once your observed bandwith go higher and you get Guard flag - more users will be connecting to your relay.

[MrKornnugget]

I would be terrified running an exit Node.

[voxelfusion]

Censoring all that stuff must've been so tedious. I appreciate the effort for making the video anyway!

[JH-jknm]

you should run your relays on BSD, or something that isn’t linux. like 95% of relays run linux, which isn’t very diverse at all, and it means an exploit could cripple the whole tor network

[ponyfucker]

>running an exit node as a tiktok challange.

[zackwilloughby]

Speaking in speculation. I feel the reason these videos are not doing as well as some of the others is because people like me are waiting until we have the capabilities to accomplish the mission before watching. I really do appreciate them and will catch up when I have the time resources etc to do my part. Keep up the good work and thank you for everything

Lulz.
Like 15 years ago, I ran a Tor relay node at a family members house, it was part of a CDN project that a few friends and I did (pre-cloud, we were some of the OG's). I figured we could maximize our internet prestige by running relays.
Anyway, one of the relays uptime was amazeballs with a broadband "high throughput" connection (limited to: 10mbps/2mbps), somehow made its way on "top lists" and the throughput shot through the roof. It was constantly maxing out the configured bandwidth. It got "so bad" that one of the CDN's ISPs sent them a "nasty" notice in the mail accusing them or being part of a dangerous underground network distributing malware and a bunch of other rubbish.
(We kept our stuff clean, constantly scanning and removing threats.)
It's been a while, might reconsider... Gotta look into registering a business, paying for a VPN and writing off the expense before I run another node 🤣.

[folkishappalachian]

So I have an idea, mobile exit nodes

Couldn't it be possible to:
>take rasp pi
>water proof ammo can
>battery (smart battery preferably)
>sheet (flexible/flat) solar panels
>charge controller- smart version

Set up exit node using store wifi, leave device outside store hidden covertly: roof, guerilla glued near dumpster, etc

Then you do the honorable service of creating exit nodes while normies are swat bait

Some poor bastard serving drive through chicken tendies has to kiss the deck and chicken wing arms occasionally for that 15 an hour

[rolfkaktus]

If you host an exit node just do it on a server where you paid via monero. My friends house just got raided for running an exit node!

[Marco-ykkp]

Very based. Spread the word of deglowification

[paulspl]

I don't even use tor myself but I think I might set up 1 or 2 relays on an old toshiba laptop i have, just out of defending online freedom of anonymity.
