Hi Rhona,<br>
<br>
I've been thinking about a similar possibility, but lack the
technical<br>
know-how to run a server at a distance. Any idea how to go about
it<br>
(i.e. finding servers with providers that are not opposed to Tor,
or<br>
DDoS attacks (if it's an exit node)?<br>
Also, there's the issue of bandwidth - running a Tor node on my<br>
connection at ~500kb/s easily goes through 10-20 gb/day for both<br>
uploads and downloads, so the monthly costs can built up quite
quickly...<br>
<br>
Would love to hear your thoughts!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Phillip<br>
