Re: [tor-relays] Windows Relay Setup
Hi! Well, I certainly expected far more snarky responses. :) Thank you for the links. I'll check them out and, if I get it to work, maybe write up a guide for others. Thank you! William ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Sunday, July 14, 2019 1:44 AM, Barton Bruce <barton.bruce@gmail.com> wrote:

There used to be a VIDALIA (sp?) kit that could simply be downloaded and run on a windows machine. I then worked for an ISP/CLEC and had lots of bandwidth so ran Vidaalia on a 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate machine on my desk at work.
I never did hear why something had changed at the tor project so that stopped working, but do remember a rude snippy condescending reply from someone on the mailing list so I lost interest.
I did get the head Tor guy from the Central Square Cambridge office of TOR to come speak at a local networking group's monthly meeting we held at a MicroSlush faclity in Burlington, MA and it was well received by a packed audience. I think he now has left TOR and works for some ISP.

One other possibility if you can't work through any issues, Windows 10 has fairly decent Linux support, and/or consider running a lightweight Linux in a Hyper-V VM (Windows 10 Pro, most flavours of Windows Server). Neither of these are as clean as running natively in Windows, but when a project doesn't actively maintain a particular platform it is sometimes an overall better result.

Its realy simple, learn linux and start with a small relay (nonexit). You can try a debian 10 or Ubuntu. Windoze is not a god solution. Sorry.

Hi William, From an operating system diversity point of view it’s definitely a good idea to have all sorts of OSs running relays, so it’s great that you’re trying this out on Windows. It would be really good if you can help us with a new set of instructions for Windows once you get it to work. Thanks for running a relay!
