Hi folks,
I am not sure it is more secure. What are we trying to protect here? As long as the relay is running,it is unencrypted. Disk encryption only prevents physical access - are you at risk of this? At any rate, the relay shouldn't be storing personal data.
Having it encrypted also makes remote management an absolute pain.
Can someone clarify this?
I am not a lawyer, but I've heard that it helps to prove you have no personal data. This is harder when there is encrypted data on the machine.

I'm planning to customise a RPi with Raspbian already running, and using cryptsetup (LUKS) to have a partition more secure for some reasons... So the goal is to move some existing sensitive folders to this new encrypted partition. Some sym-links will be used for those directories.
About Tor, if I'm not wrong, those directories can be moved to this encrypted partition : /var/lib/tor : so I'm planning to move /var...
So at final, planning to move : /home /var /tmp (why not swap file ?)
Any suggestions and master's thoughts are welcome :) _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
