hi,
thank you very much for this.
is this a project supported/acknowledged by torproject?

and can you please explain this below?

quote:
The only known disadvantage is that it cannot host Tor hidden services
which would require other services (e.g. http), and their resources
(e.g. hard drive space), in addition to the Tor server itself. However,
as a middle or exit node, it is ideal.

thank you very much.
