<div>HI,
<br />
<br />
I have a VPS server with fast internet connection.
<br />
I would like to configure tor bridge on that machine.
<br />
<br />
VPS server has configured some services already. If tor bridge service
<br />
will run on that machine (IP), will it generate any impact for IP
<br />
reputation ? I mean blacklisting.
<br />
<br />
Greetings

A bridge's IP is not on a public list. So generally running a bridge shouldn't affect your reputation at all.
<br />
<br />
Average people who don't use tor will not know that you run a bridge on that IP and don't care unless you tell them.
<br />
Average people who want to use that bridge will appreciate it.
<br />
Other service providers will not know about that fact and probably don't care either unless you tell them, because it
doesn't affect their services. Since a bridge is used as a first hop in a tor circuit and not as an exit only other tor
relays will receive connections from it.
<br />
If your ISP doesn't allow you to run a tor relay but doesn't put too much effort into monitoring your traffic they'll
probably not notice that you are running a bridge.
<br />
A sensor who tries to block access to the tor network may find out your IP and block access to your other services,
too.
<br />
If you provide a service that is being sensored in some countries then people from those countries probably won't be
able to connect to your bridge either.
