Re: [tor-talk] Tor relay on home computer

[stn <stn@xxxxxx>]

i wanted to run a bridge relay but learned long term consistency is 
key.  torcloud is a good solution imo.
i have to build a bsd or linux system from old hw VS running a bridge 
from my desktop to make a home bridge work.

i had good luck running torcloud.
https://cloud.torproject.org/

it costs $3/month usd for a year using the specified amazon location and 
is probably superior to running a server at home.

if you do not wish to go over the free bandwidth allotment (free for 12 
months)
perhaps amazon has settings we can explore.   i don't know yet if we can 
edit the cap limit in the installation yet.

 i'm fine with $3/month set by tor limit of 10GB per week.
https://cloud.torproject.org/

i'm not an expert but i am willing to try and help if you get stuck.

the screen shots posted at torcloud differ from what i experienced.  
amazon changed things i suppose.  the order of the options.

however the torcloud site noted above clearly states when to change 
settings and when not to do so.
i managed to get through it though it took longer than 15 minutes. no 
complaints.
