Thanks, Karsten!
Or does this wizard start automatically when arm starts?
If tor is installed but not currently running on the control port then arm starts the wizard.
In that case, setting "Internal Relay" as the default could be problematic. If people use arm on their clients, they shouldn't be tricked into becoming a relay only because that's the default. They should know what they're doing when setting up a relay. But 90% of all users go with the default, so if "Internal Relay" is the default, they'll just pick that and hope for the best. (Ignore this comment if the wizard is explicitly called "Tor Relay Setup Wizard" and if people need to actively start it.)
I disagree. For the network to scale it needs some portion of its userbase to be relays. There's certainly use cases where that isn't practical (either when it's a burden or they need to hide the fact that they're using tor), but for just about anything else operating a middle-hop relay is an easy and complaint-free way of helping. I kinda like having people opt-out of being a relay since it makes them aware when they're using the network without contributing to it. Also, weren't we talking earlier about making people bridges by default in Vidalia?
That said, I'll change the default if people would rather it be something else.
Missing word: "This is a safe and easy _way_ of making the Tor network better."
Thanks, fixed
I wonder if there's a short torproject.org URL containing tips for exit relay operators that you can show users here.
Ah, I was wondering when someone would mention that. I made two simple landing pages with resources for wizard users... http://www.atagar.com/torUsageTips/ http://www.atagar.com/torExitTips/
I did it this way since... - it needed to be short urls (originally I was planning trac wikis) - I could make the site look just how I wanted, my goal being something minimal that draws eyes to the content which the dark background does - it kinda seemed fitting since this is where arm's homepage resides
However, in the long run I agree that these should be torproject.org pages (for the recognizable url, translations, and since it provides https).
