Hello!<div><br></div><div>I saw this posted on slashdot and think this is an excellent way to donate some of our time and expertise, especially considering Internet access has been declared a human right by the UN.</div><div>
<br></div><div>We currently colocate with a provider and will be inquiring with them if they are OK with hosting Tor, (the post here: <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tips-running-exit-node-minimal-harassment">https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tips-running-exit-node-minimal-harassment</a> was extremely helpful for other just joining and we will be following such advice when we bring it up with our provider).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Ball park quotes we got were 99$ / 100 Mbps or $599 / 1000 Mbps for transit for a single 1U... we&#39;ll see if we can get something better...</div><div><br></div><div>Would this be helpful / viable option for a Tor exit node ?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I also had just one question: what are the specs required for a Tor node? It does not seem too resource intensive but I have not been able to find any minimum system requirements. Would a current / last-generation quad core with 8GB + would suffice?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Sri </div><div><br></div>
