If you want to try building a FreeBSD port using LibreSSL instead of  
OpenSSL add this to /etc/make.conf

OPENSSL_PORT=security/libressl
WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes

Not sure about static builds, what's the benefit?

I do know OpenBSD 5.6 has LibreSSL baked in and it works with Tor. Just  
install the tor package, edit /etc/tor/torrc and you're up and running.

Next time I stand up another relay or exit node on OpenBSD I think I'll  
kick it up a notch with some chroot and/or systrace sauce.

Am also interested in hearing any tips for minimizing data retention. I  
thought about making a hardlink or symlink from /var/log to /dev/null, but  
I have a feeling there's more to it than that.
