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

    Too great a chance someone downloads csam through it and I get blamed.

      But as far as I understand, thats only a worry for people running exit nodes? Or?

        You’re correct, but I still am not comfortable taking the chance.

          Also: I often see your name in Lemmy posts/comments, and just wanted to say thanks for contributing so much. You come with very valuable and factual information, as far I’ve seen - and I appreciate that :)

          Have a nice day 🌻
