[tor-relays] Running relay on vmware ? is it secure to use Tor on virtual systems ?

[Nathaniel Suchy]

In most cases, there’s not an additional risk by using a VM. If your
adversary has a VM escape they could potentially exploit the host OS. If
you’re that important QubesOS may be a better option for you. That said
you’re harming performance without many security gains.

As for a relay, can you be more specific. Are you hosting a Tor Exit in
your home?

Cordially,
Nathaniel Suchy
