Hello,
I wanted to share the "Tor Relay Operator Community Health - Final Project report" (June 2024) made by Ana and Victoria. You can access the report via these links:

Hi everyone,
many thanks @Gus for sharing.
And a big thank you to everyone who participated in the survey or let us interview them! Like the main survey, this is a very long report - hope you find some of the insights interesting :D
Feel free to drop us a line for any feedback (contact details are in the report).
Best, acute and vishnee

Wow, I'm only up to 4.4.
- So I'm the only DAU in this survey ;-)
- Exit operators (some of whom have been to jail). are the ones most expected to disclose their data.
- A trusted group, exceeding a certain percentage of the total consensus weight most people find worse than a single operator running multiple relays using different personas and alias? Yes, more distribution is nice. But I'd rather have NTH and quetzo in my node list than the next KAX17.
Whether now after the reports about 'Operation Liberty' where it was about detecting onion services¹ and guard nodes, the answers would be the same?
¹All node types are involved in hidden services (guard, middle, exit).
Every assistant admin at Hetzner and OVH can monitor a significant part of the Tor network. In addition, Netflow data is transmitted to anyone who can pay for it. But well-known relay groups are the bad guys :-)
