[tor-talk] Newbie question regarding exit policy

[Geoff Down]

Hi Stephan,
thanks for running a relay.
 That's a good idea, but you can also verify what exit policy your relay
 is announcing to the world (which is what clients use to decide whether
 to use your relay as an exit) by visiting a torstatus server such as
 torstatus.blutmagie.de:
http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/router_detail.php?FP=<your relays
fingerprint without the brackets>
(I have mine Bookmarked).
 You can find your relay's fingerprint in the logs as Tor starts:
 "[notice] Your Tor server's identity key fingerprint is ' <name>
 <fingerprint>' "
