Hi Runa!
Hi Sina,
Users need to create a security group in the EC2 web interface and specify which ports their instances will be using. If you randomize the ports used by the Tor Cloud instances, users will have no idea which ports to open.
I think we can just open a range of ports on the Amazon's security interface.
You could update the documentation to say that users need to create a security group with the range X-Y, and make sure the random ports used by Tor are within that range.
Also, since Tor and SSH are the only network listening programs, we probably don't even need a firewall at all.
All Amazon instances are behind a firewall by default, all you can do is specify which ports you want to open.
