Hello all. I'm running a new relay, relayacab, at apexy in DE on a minimal Debian 7 OS. Is there a best practices guide for basic security setup? This is my first time operating a remote machine, running a relay, and having any public service to harden. So I'd really like to take this opportunity to do this the right way and continue on a productive path in supporting the tor network. Thanks! +-- relayacab

Thanks so much for considering security! It's a very important and often neglected aspect of Tor relay operation.

Let me know what you think of the document.
