Hi Roger,

Thanks for the kick in the butt. I have upgraded the system (including Tor). If I ever upgrade from ADSL to fiber increasing the bandwidth will be an option.

The largest issue I have had is being placed on blacklist which prevented getting to some websites altogether (eg. Duke Energy, MonoPrice) and others that would claim I was using a proxy (eg. Hulu) or would fail with no error message when trying to complete a purchase (eg. Tesla).  I finally tracked this down to BrightCloud, if anyone is having a similar problem. They should make the bother of differentiating between someone using a proxy and someone running a non-exiting Tor relay, but they didn't seem to be motivated to. AT&T disconnected my service when I was configured as an exit node, due to an abusive Tor user, but at least that was rational.

Hi,

You are running a Tor relay, which is great:

First: that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will
soon cut relays running those versions out of the network. Please
consider upgrading!

Second: let us know if there is any way to help you bump up the bandwidth
that you are allocating to the Tor relay. :)

You can find Tor packages for many distros / operating systems here:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#PlatformspecificInstructions
and/or
here:
https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/

Let us know if we can do anything to make the process easier.

And lastly, I am cc'ing the new network health mailing list (which
has public archives), to help us stay synced:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkHealthTeam

Thanks!
