Bitfolk policies and any best practise tips you can give me to
minimize any impact.
There are plenty of best practice documents out there already for
running Tor nodes. Here are some BitFolk-specific requirements:
https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Running_a_Tor_node
You're required to block at least ports 22 and 25 because abuse of
Tor nodes for SSH dictionary attacks and email spam is rife.
Otherwise, when we receive an abuse report related to your Tor node
we will pass it on to you and do expect you to deal with every one
in a timely fashion.
Tor exit nodes are often used for what is likely to be illegal
activity (e.g. connecting to botnets, web blog spamming, referer
spamming, scanning for web application exploits, …) so please be
aware that by running one you are enabling this.
Cheers,
Andy
