Do you have any simpler resources on how to do it?

If it were simpler to run a relay on a provider that allows it, and it doesn’t cost much (say $10 a month) to give Tor users a little more speed, that’d be helpful. The last time I looked at the documentation, it seemed quite involved and complex (of course, I wouldn’t want the security of Tor users to be compromised due to any misconfiguration).

If there were something for Tor like Sandstorm for web apps or Algo for WireGuard, more people could run relays and help everyone.




I use ovh (although the tor network is saturated with ovh) and https://tor-relay.co ; literally takes 5 mins after vm is provisioned.

Here's a giant list of hosts you can look into - https://community.torproject.org/relay/community-resources/g...

I spent maybe an hour researching based my in criteria. You can host just an exit (most helpful), or a couple of relays (aim for 100mbps+, and decent bandwidth). You can get a lot for $5/month for each relay.


Thanks so much for the links and information. I will take a look at it again. We do need many more people running relays around the world.
