[tor-relays] securing a VPS [High speed exit]

[Craig C-S]

Thanks all for the advice!

Things to do:
- I'll be looking to run Moxie Marlinspike's knockknock daemon soon as that
seems like a superior solution to port knocking and rate limiting. (big fan
of his work on TextSecure and RedPhone!)
- Run OpenSSH as a hiddenservice.  This seems obvious now but had not
occurred to me.
- Look into Fail2Ban and DenyHosts and implement them.

Done and thank you for the reminders!
- Automated daily updates via emerge
- Server hardening done with hardened-gentoo
- Moved to key auth for ssh

Alan:
I'll keep you and the community updated if soyoustart.com (OVH) has any
problem with the exit.  Beyond forgetting to ban exits to 25 they have not
said anything!

Thanks Alan, David and Robert!

Craig
