Hello everyone,

First, I would like to apologize for my previous message where I mistakenly referred to this as an "official mirror" - that was incorrect and I should have been more careful with my wording. I am applying to become an official mirror, it is not one yet. I will correct this on the /stats Page.

I would like to offer a new Tor Project mirror hosted in Germany.

About me: I run a small web hosting and SEO consultancy (SEO NW) in Germany. This mirror is not a commercial project - I simply want to give something back to the open source community. I already operate a Linux Mint mirror ( mirror-mint.seo-manager.info) which is currently pending approval, and would like to support the Tor Project as well.

Mirror details: - Location: Germany - IPv4: Yes - IPv6: Yes - HTTPS: Yes - Sync frequency: Every 6 hours - Upstream: rsync.torproject.org - Bandwidth: ~1.7 Gbit/s - No CDN - No IP logging

Status page: https://tor.seo-manager.info/stats/

Thank you for considering my application.

Best regards, Alexander Müller SEO NW Germany _______________________________________________ tor-mirrors mailing list -- tor-mirrors@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to tor-mirrors-leave@lists.torproject.org

Thank you for reaching out, but I think there might be a misunderstanding.

Hi all, It's worse than that -- Tor hasn't used this third-party mirror infrastructure in some years now. Background: we used to use volunteer-offered mirrors for users who were censored or otherwise needed a version of the Tor site they could reach. But that idea proved complicated because what they really needed is a copy of the Tor site that they can reach and that we can trust enough. So the summary is that there isn't any place to add any of these mirrors to at this point. You will have much more impact contributing a bridge or a relay. If you like web servers, consider running a webtunnel bridge. Thanks! --Roger

Hi Roger, Thank you for the clarification about the mirror infrastructure! The mirror will stay online as an unofficial resource for anyone who finds it useful. Following your suggestion, I've set up a WebTunnel bridge today - it's now online and running: - Nickname: CloudRelay42 - Bandwidth: 500 Mbit/s - IPv4 + IPv6 enabled Happy to contribute to the network! Best regards, Alexander Müller
