| Hi William,
From an operating system diversity point of view it’s definitely a good idea to have all sorts of OSs running relays, so it’s great that you’re trying this out on Windows.
It would be really good if you can help us with a new set of instructions for Windows once you get it to work.
Thanks for running a relay!

Its realy simple, learn linux and start with a small relay (nonexit). You can try a debian 10 or Ubuntu. Windoze is not a god solution. Sorry. Am 23.07.2019 um 22:43 schrieb Dave Warren <dw@xxxxxxxxxx>:
One other possibility if you can't work through any issues, Windows 10 has fairly decent Linux support, and/or consider running a lightweight Linux in a Hyper-V VM (Windows 10 Pro, most flavours of Windows Server).
Neither of these are as clean as running natively in Windows, but when a project doesn't actively maintain a particular platform it is sometimes an overall better result.

Hi!
Well, I certainly expected far more snarky responses. :)
Thank you for the links. I'll check them out and, if I get it to work, maybe write up a guide for others.
Thank you!
William

I'm interested in hosting a Windows-based relay, if anyone can point me to a good tutorial. I've tried the most common ones.

There used to be a VIDALIA (sp?) kit that could simply be downloaded and
run on a windows machine. I then worked for an ISP/CLEC and had lots of
bandwidth so ran Vidaalia on a 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate machine on my
desk at work.
I never did hear why something had changed at the tor project so that
stopped working, but do remember a rude snippy condescending reply from
someone on the mailing list so I lost interest.
I did get the head Tor guy from the Central Square Cambridge office of
TOR to come speak at a local networking group's monthly meeting we held
at a MicroSlush faclity in Burlington, MA and it was well received by a
packed audience. I think he now has left TOR and works for some ISP.
