Re: [tor-relays] relay behind reverse proxy



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

So it is on atlas and consensus, it is an exit node.

But the probability of being an exit has decreased in the graphs, but
it is constant now. What does that mean?

Now we'll try to contact other exit nodes in the territory and see if
there is a kind of association already existing of exit nodes so we
could join them.

It feels nice to support this project.

Cheers!
