[tor-relays] Call for discussion: turning funding into more exit relays

[Sriakhil Gogineni]

Hello!

I saw this posted on slashdot and think this is an excellent way to donate
some of our time and expertise, especially considering Internet access has
been declared a human right by the UN.

We currently colocate with a provider and will be inquiring with them if
they are OK with hosting Tor, (the post here:
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tips-running-exit-node-minimal-harassment was
extremely helpful for other just joining and we will be following such
advice when we bring it up with our provider).

Ball park quotes we got were 99$ / 100 Mbps or $599 / 1000 Mbps for transit
for a single 1U... we'll see if we can get something better...

Would this be helpful / viable option for a Tor exit node ?

I also had just one question: what are the specs required for a Tor node?
It does not seem too resource intensive but I have not been able to find
any minimum system requirements. Would a current / last-generation quad
core with 8GB + would suffice?

Best,
Sri
