Title: Guide on setting up own relay
Post by: slyguy498 on October 05, 2013, 08:06 am
The mods (if there still around) should stick a beginner guide to setting up your own TOR relay. I think TOR needs all they can get now!!

Is it a good idea or a bad idea to run a hidden service on a relay?

Don't you have to run a hidden service on a relay? In any case, I think you'd be more secure running it on a relay (as long as you're not running an exit node) because you'd have a bunch of regular relay traffic masking the traffic to your hidden service.

A tutorial by astor:

The above is definitely preferred but alternatively, you can donate here:

And if you're interested, this thread has some other bits of info related to this issue (that's how I found out about torservers.net)
