Hello,
I've found no information - after short googling - if I should take some action after an exit node got seized. Like marking the fingerprint as compromised or something like that.
I'd guess it's ok to just set up a new exit node on the same IP and everything should be fine but I'm not quite 100% sure on this.
Node in question: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/AF8A3EE078EB81338461F178DBE5C...
And another question about this topic: Would it be better to create a new exit from scratch or is it ok to restore the latest backup with all keys, etc. ?
Cheers Michael
Michael,
Why was it seized?
If you're wanting to put a new node up I would start from scratch.

Hy,
the exit node is just collateral damage. It has nothing to do with it's single purpose role as an exit node.

I find it surprising that you are able to do that, is the provider not mad at you for having one of their servers seized? Or even if yours, for causing a commotion and ruckus in their datacenter.

It is certainly not okay to run a node keeping the same private key that the police now has. You should start from scratch, and I think the procedure is actually such that the Tor project will blacklist the affected fingerprint.
The hoster handled this case quiet professionally, I guess it's a standardized process for most hosting operators. As far as I know the police just seizes the disks and the hoster just adds new ones.

It is better to create new keys and not to restore the old once.
Hy,
thanks for the link and email, I've informed the tor project about it. I'll bring it back online as a new node from scratch.
Cheers
