Re: vps

[DC <newswiki@xxxxxxxxx>]

it's up and running now. i followed this
https://www.torproject.org/docs/rpms.html.en
but my problem is it never got the "EXIT" status.
what could be the problem? i used the same torrc config at home and my
home node read as both VALID and EXIT
i also noticed in the logs this DNS hijacking warning.
