Re: [tor-relays] Running exit-node in Germany



Luckly I have a fiber connection and a unused RaspberryPi. So running an exit-node would be free for me. Can you describe the encounter with the police? Did you just go to your local police station oder did you call a special cybercriminality unit?

What exactly was the 'hassle' when you ran an exit-node?

I wouldn't run a Tor exit at home, especially in Bavaria.
The upstream is not worth it (unless you have fiber), 
and the hassle can be considerable. I recommend renting 
a root server or putting up your own hardware in a colo 
-- or, better, donate it to Torservers/Zwiebelfreunde e.V.
so that they can pay people to run servers in sparsely
covered areas of the world, e.g. Asia.

experience with running a Tor-Relay in Germany( Bavaria)?
A Tor relay is a non-exit, and completely unproblematic
but for potential traffic issues.
 
Are there known cases of police raids? Is there a list of lawyers which
work with the torproject which should be called in case of a raid? Has
anyone had sucsess with talking to the police prior to setting up the
exit-node? If so, to which departmed did you talk to?
I've had a couple contacts with the local police when running
an exit at home, where I came in with printouts of Tor exits
which listed my node's IP, and explained how Tor worked using
online description like https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en

You should contact http://www.zwiebelfreunde.de/ and CCC, imo.
