Auto update with cron, audit it like a normal server

Hi,

I've got a spare server for two (freebsd) and I'd like to start running
TOR
relays on them.

Is there any security concerns I need to deal with, or is the ports
compile
+ updates good enough to keep my systems decently secure.

I actively monitor the machines, but as you know, the game is
prevention,
not reaction to security incedents :)



Thanks,

AB49K

And I think a lot of users doesn't know what is there "behind". As
always in computer's world...

Now I'm able to explain quickly (what I've understood) this network to
some friends/family, who were using Tor a long time ago before I've
started to have fun with contributing a little to the network.

How many people around us know how 'it's working", how many are
thinking
about that, are interested to know ?
They are connecting the smartphone to Mc Do's wifi, and are happy to
read Facebook... receive emails... etc. But how it's possible to make
it
work ? They don't care about that, /"it's working and it's cool !"/
They don't know what is a NAS at their work, what is an IP, what is
domain with AD, why those IT guys are sooo boring with those passwords
(they don't love our pet's name as password... rah!!).
Now my friends/family have quickly understood how "normal people" can
contribute to Tor, but I'm sure some months after /"it's working and
it's cool !"/. Nothing more.
And I think a lot of "little" operators like me are doing this by
loving
computer's world (linux, network, dev,...), having fun to investigate
why it's not working nice, or try to make it better, and of course
understand the need to have an "underground" network for all the
reasons
we know.
It's cool to contribute, and if it can help censored people, and if
it's
better for privacy to the others, it's beautiful !

The day I'll not be able to have some time/money to make nodes working,
I'll sadly "poweroff" them, and thank all people (devs, operators,
mailing lists...) for their work, to have this package working easily
with this support !
apt-get install tor - nano torrc (bridge/relay/exit to contribute)-
service tor restart - it's working. Nice? If it's not working, the
community is here. Nice!
Thanks.

Sorry, I didn't understand that your daemon didn't restart

started the service post-upgrade on both.




Since it is reproducible in my case as well I assume you do _not_
have the following constellation:

tor.service is disabled and stopped (I don't use the default
instance)

You should not disable tor.service.

tor.service is what controls all tor instances. The default service is
tor@default.service. If you don't want it to start, one option is to
move away /etc/tor/torrc.
