Re: [tor-relays] Oubound Ports

OMG dude - take a downer........


If you are in a time sensitive situation, and (picking a random offtopic
thought here :) wanting to do some leaks, the best thing might be to find
someone you trust (who is reasonably technically literate), and pass the
material to them, ask them to post it to various drop boxes and provide it
(anonymously and/ or without any phone calls etc made) to their own trusted
friends etc, to get the info out there.

Do this with a few different people, if you have trustworthy friends/
contacts


Its shit like that that fucks up the whole program for everybody else.  If
that's what TOR NETWORK is all about then I think I will just sit back and
watch!

What type of tor server did you decide to run (relay, exit, bridge)?

I feel you are rushing things a little.

Do some more reading.

Personally I suggest an exit relay, but without informing yourself first,
how can you make an informed choice? An exit may be worse, or better, given
your needs/ intentions of what you want to achieve here.

You want "secure". OK, so does everyone. So what's your threat model?

If you are worried about a compromised tor server, and consequent
information leaks, perhaps set up whonix?

If you are just impatient, just run TBB.

If security is genuinely important, and you rush things, you are MUCH more
likely to come unstuck.

Your situation sounds like you are impatient.

Go do some reading, and good luck,
