Okay,

So I've found a ISP in Kenya that says they're happy to host a tor exit node. The ping is 270ms from a Canadian ISP, 16 hops. 183ms from Germany, 13 hops.

Ultimately, am I making the tor network better or worse, if I were to set up some tor nodes here?

Hi Chris,

If it is affordable, it sounds like a great addition. 183ms ping from Germany isn't that bad at all. Sometimes I have pings to Canada or USA at 200ms, depending on the exact route.

If they are happy to host a Tor exit node, you could add them to the ISP list in the wiki (though the spam filter has problems right now), or at least mention them here if you want to :)

Best, Michael
