So just out of curiosity: if a lot of relays run on hardware of a single hosting company, that hosting company has access to many secret keys, which might be an interesting attack vector for an adversary.
Given that these nodes have a different administrator, MyFamily won't be set.
Does the relay selection algo take this into account in any way?
Greetings!
My experience is: This is the best hosting companyI ever had and I am
doing this for over 20 years. I will not run an exit node and I am
sure I will be fine.Btw, there are already alot of hight traffic non
exit nodes running on feral.
Markus
PS: I am not working for feral and I am not a family member or any
other connection :)
