Hi,

you should keep your keys only on encrypted partitions and backups with "forgotten" passwords
to avoid revoking GPG keys.
And you should use a transparent proxy plus a provider proxy as parent proxy for the exit traffic of
your TOR server, because usually only the TCP/IP IP number gets logged; e. g. logged by an Apache with
default configuration and most other software.

Well, sometimes shit happens and TOR servers are raided also in germany, where they are legal, so
usually the raiding of a TOR server is only temporary and threads are only idle threats.
