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 +-- https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/18002B828F1E9237B616DE8C8968F4E6C7520B...

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.

You may wish to revise your guide to better SSH.

Particularly, running it through a Tor HS.
Other ideal reading is the BetterCrypto guide: https://bettercrypto.org/static/applied-crypto-hardening.pdf
Cheers
