Hello, I'm very interested in your endeavor, because SoYouStart is part of OVH, and they don't really like exit-relays a lot. Please inform us if your ISP does something against the relay.
Ad security: Make sure you use public-key ssh login and have any kind of password-login disabled. Try to find a secure storage for your private key, a smart card (YubiKey or OpenPGP smartcard for instance) or access the server only from a live OS and have the private key stored on a medium that you only use together with the live OS.

Hi all,
I've been running a few fail relays over the past few years. All relays I run they begin with the prefix "Telos". I've recently come across a really good deal http://www.soyoustart.com/ca/en/ on hosting..., and begun hosting "TelosTor" and "TelosTor2" from 192.99.8.96. I would welcome any comments on security. At the moment I do not have a stable IP to access them, so have defaulted to 1/min IP access for OpenSSH. I would relish the TOR communities feedback in order to further secure my tor exit node.
Thanks! Craig
