I am quite new to tor but I decided a few days ago that it is not just "something for people in far far away countries". I simply decided that I have to support this if I do not want to be in the risk that I am asked later: "What did you do when they took the control over the net?".
So I started a tor node on a dedicated root server. But now you scared me a little bit: Is there a need to be safeguarded as a tor node operator?
- At least the hosting company might know me. At least it should be easy
for the government to track me down even if I tried to hide because all they have to do is follow the money.
- I even used my Name and Email address inside the contact information.
Just check out the "idkneitzel" Node.
- Reverse DNS even points back to my private domain.
Was this something that I shouldn't have done? Is it something that I should change?
You are not running an Exit node, all of this is irrelevant to you.
