Mirror down
by Michael Kohl 18 Apr '12

Hi, unfortunately our mirror [[:bbs:]] (as well as the relay itself) is down at the moment, since our hosting provider tries to convince us that running a Tor node is illegal in Germany: http://citizen428.net/blog/2012/04/18/no-tor/ As mentioned in the post, we will try to get a new relay and mirror setup as soon as possible in another country.

An Introduction, and a new mirror.
by Jonathan Pichot 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hello, Just wanted to introduce myself to the Tor Mirrors group. My name is Jonathan Pichot and I work as web developer for a small company in Michigan. One of my side projects is a network college media sites called Dearstar. These sites have been used to organize and document happenings on campus that aren't covered by student newspapers, usually because they involve the actions of college administrators. Last year, our network became the central organizing and information hub during a particular staff firing crisis on one of the campuses. We were duly blocked on that campus network. I was first introduced to Tor when researching about free and open online media. Turns out, Tor can help students bypass these arbitrary information blocks on their campus networks. Interestingly, we've discovered that the Tor project website itself is blocked on many of the campuses we service. In our work to relaunch the Dearstar network, we decided to mirror the Tor project to provide access to these students (at least until our own mirror is blocked). We know there are people using Tor for a lot more important things than college media, so we're happy to help everyone else while we're at it. (We're also looking into running a relay.) The mirror is located at: http://tor.dearstar.net It's a VPS.net node running ubuntu and apache2, set to rsync the site every six hours. If Tor wants to add it to the mirror list, feel free. You can use the organization name Dearstar. Cheers! -- Jonathan Pichot Sent with Sparrow (http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig)
