Hi tornodes.io team,


first of all thanks for joining the tor network and running exit relays,
this is really appreciated!

To help protect tor clients please set the MyFamily parameter in your
torrc configuration, if you need help with that let us know.
Since managing MyFamily can be a painful task, especially when operating
many relays, there are tools and ansible roles to automate that [2].

As you grow please consider also the following:

- network diversity (ISP and geographically)

You are currently operating in the second most used exit AS, consider
using other ISPs as well. We know it is not easy to find cheap reliable
exit hosters, compass can help you determining whether a given AS is
already used by many other (exit) operators:
https://compass.torproject.org

- running current tor releases

0.2.4.x and 0.2.5.x are old, consider updating to the latest stable tor
release (currently 0.2.8.10).
Using the torproject repo (if you are on Debian/Ubuntu [3]) can help you
stay on the latest releases.



thanks,
nusenu
