We've all read <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tips-running-exit-node-minimal-harassment">tips for running an exit node with minimal harassment</a>, but not every relay operator has the ability to set a custom RDNS entry: most do not even own a domain name. I've set up <a href="http://the-onion-router.net">the-onion-router.net</a> with the specific aim of helping out. If you run a Tor relay or exit, and would like a more recognizable RDNS entry, a forwarding email address to protect your mail from spam, and to have your relay appear within a domain that has a clear explanation of Tor on the front page, I can help.<div>
<br></div><div>Send me an email at <a href="mailto:register@the-onion-router.net">register@the-onion-router.net</a> containing the following information:</div><div>-the fingerprint of your relay, and</div><div>-whether you want a forwarding email address.</div>
<div>Make sure to send it from the administrative contact email for your relay.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll set up an A record for your relay's IP. If it has the exit flag, it will go at <name>.<a href="http://exits.the-onion-router.net">exits.the-onion-router.net</a>, otherwise, it will go at <name>.<a href="http://relays.the-onion-router.net">relays.the-onion-router.net</a>. If you want a forwarding email address, I'll give you a random string of characters @<a href="http://the-onion-router.net">the-onion-router.net</a>. If you're getting too much spam, you can just email me to have it changed. Once I confirm your request, feel free to set your RDNS entry to fit with it.</div>
