What's the point of having one relay? You're better off using a reputable VPN like mullvad or ivpn. Tor is the best you're gonna get for low latency anonymous overlay network. It's been studied and refined over the years.

- flipped 10mo agoOf course it would hence you should stick with mullvad, a reputable VPN. Tor is not made for single relay paths, you're just wasting it's potential.
- mapt 10mo agoIt's very difficult for me to contemplate how anybody could run a VPN, however reputable, that isn't compromised by one intelligence agency at least. Their incentive structures and their costs to participate in this space just make it a no-brainer. If you're starting a brand new VPN company with ironclad ideals about privacy - are you going to be able to compete with state-run enterprises that can subsidize their own competing "businesses", on top of whatever coercive authority they possess to intervene in local small businesses?
