Thread-topic: New exit node best practices

Good evening,

After many months of running a relay, I'm planning to establish up a family of exit nodes with geographically diverse VPS providers, shying away from the list of the most heavily used Tor friendly providers.

Several questions:

- Does establishing a family increase the risk of the nodes being taken down en masse?

- Do you suggest providing ample contact information for the node directory, as opposed to little or none?

- I'm being very upfront with sales@ regarding my purpose before signing up, and making sure they're okay with it. What questions should I be asking to be sure they'll be Tor friendly before shutting down my exit nodes?

Make your day great,
