Dear Tor Operators, I hope this message finds you well. I am planning to set up a Tor exit node and would like to seek your valuable advice and guidance before proceeding. Specifically, I want to understand the following: - What are the essential technical and operational considerations I should be aware of before running an exit node? - Are there best practices or configurations you recommend to ensure the node runs securely and efficiently? - What kind of bandwidth allocation is ideal? I am considering allocating around 30-40 Mbps on my internet connection—would this be sufficient or optimal? - Could you please share insights on the legal responsibilities and potential risks involved with operating a Tor exit node in India? - Are there any specific resources, communities, or contacts you recommend I engage with for ongoing support? - (most importantly) what hardware accelerations should my device support?? is it fine if i run it on raspberry pi 5 or would it need a modern x86 CPU? I appreciate any advice or resources you can share. I am eager to contribute responsibly and effectively to the Tor network. Thank you very much for your time and help.
