Re: [tor-relays] TOR Services on Microsoft Azure

Update on my Azure-Exit:

https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/0534295ACFD5A84312183B41D3FB275E9ADD9EE2

It already has consensus weight 1200 after less than two weeks and its raising.

Everyone should use this option to give the TOR-Network a good push. After my free time has finished, i'll try to download an image of this Exit and create a second account on azure.

Technical question:
Could it be useful to save the keys and the fingerprint to use it on a "new" VPS to start with better performance?

Best,

volker

Hi John.

I think this depends on the distribution used.
Of course you can use own distributions and images.
I used the standard ubuntu which was suggested from Azure and did nothing than installing TOR (apt-get install tor), modifing the torrc-file and configured the port-forwarding.
Thats all.

Volker,

Thank you for sharing!

Is Azure able to run the latest Tor release of 0.2.8.8? You're running 0.2.4.27 at this time.

Thanks!

John

Hi.

I read some pages on the internet about TOR-servers on cloud-services like Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS.

Just gave it a try on Azure and it works like a charm!

You can sign up for free and receive credits worth ~200$. With this credits you can safely run an unlimited VPS for about 4-5 month.
