Re: [tor-relays] keepyourprivcay: Introducing a new 100 mbit/s relay

The only way I dared run and exit from home was via a VPN service.   Alas the IP would keep changing, so not that useful. The VPN service was well known to many services such as BBC so content blocked for copyright reasons. So even less useful.

I am not a lawyer and the situation may vary depending on where you live and/or which country you are a citizen of, but:
* the EFF discourages running an exit relay from home[1]
* what you probably want to do - assuming it is feasible - is setting up some kind of company or organization for running those relays (either alone of with other node operators)
