An Idaho nonprofit has expressed guarded interest in Tor. Ideally I'd like them to run an exit node without fuss or bother, but the Tor Project's Tips on Running an Exit Node only covers limited liability corporations (LLCs) regarding the legal/corporate set-up. Is there anything to add, or is that sufficient? Thanks in advance.
Hi Kenneth
I am with a New York state non-profit organization that runs a number of exits. I am not a lawyer, but I have surely spent years discussing these and other related issues with many lawyers.
I could be wrong, but I think LLC was only mentioned as an example of a type of legal entity in that article. It's not that you couldn't use a classic "C corporation" just the same. The central point was to have a separate legal entity - a corporation ( even an incorporated association or club might work.) A non-profit is generally formed as a corporation anyway.
So probably that Idaho nonprofit would be fine. I'd be happy to talk to them if it's helpful, and/or provide referrals to others.
best, Nick
