@absturztaube I wish I had enough bandwidth to host a node...

@lucifargundam you don't need a lot of bandwidth to host a node tho

@methyltheobromine @lucifargundam also, running the tor node is not illegal. stuff that might go through it can be tho. and that only applies to exit nodes

re: :tor: node stats 

@methyltheobromine @lucifargundam in CH its not even illegal to run an exit node. but if you do, you should contact digiges because they have legal backup for that stuff which you can use to protect yourself from unjust lawsuits

re: :tor: node stats 

@absturztaube @lucifargundam @methyltheobromine I think the people from the TOR Project can sign you a document that claims that you are running a relay node in case you have legal troubles, though I'm not sure if that applies only for the US.

But as you say, only exit nodes can have legal problems since they are the ones doing the connection to whatever is at the other side, if someone decides to connect or do something troublesome.

@enigmatico @lucifargundam @methyltheobromine the TOR community does that too, which is better because of it applying to your countries law

re: :tor: node stats 

@enigmatico @lucifargundam @methyltheobromine but yes, that stuff mostly only gets important if you run an exit. middle and entry are way less likely to cause you legal troubles unless your country does prohibit tor specifically

@absturztaube @lucifargundam @methyltheobromine Maybe the UK? I heard these people hate on encryption, they have laws that force people to give their keys to the cops if they find something encrypted.

Maybe they have regulations against TOR, I don't know.

re: :tor: node stats 

@enigmatico @lucifargundam @methyltheobromine that would be interesting to know, but i doubt that they have laws specifically against TOR.

for them to ask for the keys wouldn't help them much either because of the onion routing.

re: :tor: node stats 

@absturztaube @lucifargundam @methyltheobromine Well, in this case the laws aims more to storage rather than the communications. Like an HDD encrypted using LUKS.

@absturztaube @enigmatico @lucifargundam @methyltheobromine

Another way to help the network is by donating to a local org which already runs some nodes. They can then buy better hardware, pay the rent for the location, etc. and have already a working setup, are prepared for legal actions, and so on :)

My current ISP enforces a monthly (not pay period) data cap; additionally, there are +/- 22 devices connected at most hours of every day- mostly streaming if not downloading.

After I move, I plan on limiting it to 2 devices (max) streaming.

re: :tor: node stats 

@absturztaube @enigmatico @lucifargundam @methyltheobromine we have a non profit association in France who covers/runs exit nodes

In our non profit ISP we host one of their node

@absturztaube I have very little to spare right now- and I'm not even seeding torrents like I used to. I plan on moving soon- and will plan on hosting/seeding afterwards.

re: :tor: node stats 

@lucifargundam you can limit the node if you want to let it use only smol part of your bandwidth. if you wanna run it long term i do recommend putting it in a colo tho.
