A short question I didn't found in the FAQ or with Google: "Does Tor (as an exit node) need a TUN or TAP device"?It does not require tun/tap; Tor runs over and exits through TCP sockets exclusively, last I checked. However:
Thank you.
It is a sort of container but not OpenVZ, although they don't say what it is, only that "network resources" are shared so it might be really a bad idea to run TOR on it. I will maybe just take the KVM again for my new node... I maybe have to go with the smaller server then though that has only half of the traffic (500GB/month) and really really low (128MB; well it works now on 128MB) RAM... But as I said I don't really have the money for things like that.servers without TUN/TAP (VRS)If by this you mean something like OpenVZ or a similar "container" implementation, such that your node shares kernel memory with other containers, beware of limitations on the number of sockets you can have open at once. Tor keeps a large number of connections open simultaneously, and if it is not permitted to do this it may not function properly.
Hope this helps.
