Like to run TOR-Node

[Wilfred L. Guerin]

Truthfully, you might be better served in a predictive-analysis model
test...


Set up machines at diverse ISPs that are well connected to eachother, set up
VPN streams between external entry point nodes and these various core
distributors. Max out your available connections between known and "worthy"
nodes and disallow any other traffic. Make the stats and some flow modeling
numbers public in realtime, but disallow models of traffic per each vpn
link. Connect the endpoints (possibly 2 units per server farm) to the core
router box at each physical facility, and allow transparent disposal of
problematic perimeter nodes.

Basicly set yourself up a 50$/month total vps server array at various
locations, configure all of them to talk to eachother, beit vpn restricted
or open, and connect to them various entry and exit point nodes.

By the technical definition, your internal nodes talking to eachother should
not be liable, only the publicly accessable units, which exist already and
will connect to the perimeter.

This abstracts the system from the user and endpoint quite easily, and
provides the best operations using an environmental restriction rather than
relying on the open software...

A good comparison is the various irc networks, where core is protected and
leaf nodes are open to public and failover.

Your total experiment cost should be a small ammount per vps on each
machine, some of the hosted accounts also allow deamons when registered, it
is unfortionate tor never built the via-protocol cyphering methods that
other projects have used, it could allow your system to look like any
indistinct distributed network.

10$/machine, 20$ per core a month at most... a simple effort to set up 2
hosted and a vps core at an isp per individual would double for their
purposes yet facilitate the network integrity modeling that is needed
currently.

There were a number of other mixer and distributed p2p portaling systems,
along with a few very good protocol tunneling capabilities... i wonder where
these have all gone???

There is also php and perl capability to call external http requests active
on most servers now that is required for the blog/rss/etc cross linking,
easily serves as a mixer/tor node without much effort... 2-4$/month each,
unlimited bw
