hi,
just want to note, i am proud to have an german exit node with 11Mbs .. but also concerned about this raising exit node probability, actually it reads for me like 1 of 400 tor-users is going through this exit (by recalculating a exit probability of 0.25 %) - this concerns me because it should not be so easy (running just some days on a vserver) and i don't know how high this will raise ? i mean, its easy for me to guess a nsa/gchq/bnd bad-ass-club can get some hundred vservers running, and get tor exclusively exits .. and guard (which was much more easy, i lost it because i quickly run out of maximum limit for a month, so i cut it, but the 1 day downtime lost me the guard flag)
just my opinion .. and if you can show me some more information over the numbers of exits and guards and so on, i would be happy, cant believe there are so less many exit nodes out there ...
thx, Jens

Thank you for running an Exit :-)

If you want other people to look into it you should provide your fingerprint.
A lot of infos about Exits in the network can be found at:

Thx for your Answer,
i think ive managed to configure the tor service properly, my concerncs were about how easy it is to get one out of 3-400 Tor users through your specific exit, and somehow i think this should not be possible so easy.
so here the Atlas link, where you can see with 10Mbit/s and a lifetime of somehow 2 weeks there is a axit probability of 1/350 (estimated) ... by recalculating the exit/probability-percentage of 0.3%
https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/2AC2306BD625A9DD75532886842C268C3CDBBC...
so, maybe there are so "less" fast exitnodes out there, or maybe there should be some fine tuning to make it less often happen that "new" exitnodes can grep 1 of 350 people ... as i mentioned, what if i am behind gchq, bnd, nsa .. or whatever and setup somehow 100 exitnodes , does that mean i can grep than 1 out of 4 people .. thats scary - and thats what make me ask,
at least i only see this scale rising higher and higher
