Tor is a project I want to like and support, but can’t. I feel (and I have no evidence) that for every 1 person using it to protect their privacy, 20 are using it for despicable purposes. I would love to be proved wrong on this. I don’t want to shut it down, but at the same time I don’t feel I can personally or technically support it.
e-crimes are victimless crimes

Just for context: This is relativly new in Germany. In 2017 there was a change which has as consequences - witnesses _have to_ appear in person if requested (by police or DA) - witnesses _have to_ make statements regarding the case at hand This is quite a nice tool if you lack moral. You might request the suspect to appear as a witness and try to leverage the new requirements to make the suspect reveal damaging infor…
>This is quite a nice tool if you lack moral. You might request the suspect to appear as a witness and try to leverage the new requirements to make the suspect reveal damaging information. Germany doesn't have protections against self-incrimination? Or does this rely on the suspect being too cooperative for his own good?
The network never promoted my node to an entry but it operated as a relay.
One thing I noticed that my IP must have suddenly been in some lists. I can't prove it but on multiple forums my IP was blacklisted an I had issues accessing some services from telco providers. Never had these issues before and never again after I stopped running the relay... maybe I'm just paranoid.
I have run a relay/entry node at home for a while, just to figure out how all of this worked and with symmetrical gigabit I have bandwidth to spare.

Why you need balls of steel to operate a tor exit node: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2009-Septemb... Why you need balls of steel to operate a Tor exit node By calumog I became interested in Tor in the spring of 2007 after reading about the situation in Burma and felt that I would like to do something, anything, to help. As a geek and lover of the internet it seemed the best thing I could do was to…

You're not paranoid, many providers do this despite the fact that running a relay doesn't generate any malicious traffic. Here's a similar experience from Filippo Valsorda: https://twitter.com/FiloSottile/status/1257714275763851264
Said friend worked at said TV company and pulled some strings inside to get it investigated. Turns out, by default, a number of IPS systems deny traffic from relays for no good reason. He was unsuccessful in getting the security people to turn that bogus rule off.

I consider it a good filter for companies I don't want to do business with.
I have a lot of bandwidth but don't want to spend money on hosting. Has anyone successfully hosted on rasberry pi ?
I ran a exit relay outbound over a VPN Tunnel for its internet access, I was mostly just interested in what kind of traffic people are doing. (Its one of the downfalls of Tor, the Exit Nodes are prone to sniffing) and the sheer amount of porn was amazing.
I wonder at what point the supporters of Tor would continue to support it. What if it were 0.0001% genuine needs for privacy, and 99.9999% illegal stuff?
Perhaps I'm totally wrong though. Do such statistics exist?
