- devicenull 12y agoYou get to respond to a continuous stream of DMCA and abuse complaints!
- middleclick 12y agoI don't know how true this is? I have talked to someone who runs one of the bigger exit nodes and he said that he used to get barely one or two abuse complaints in months.
- devicenull 12y agoWe have customers that try to run exits from time to time. We can usually tell pretty quickly, because the abuse complaints start coming in within a few days. It seems that if you don't run the limited exit policy, you'll be hit with DMCAs pretty much instantly. If you do run the limited exit policy, you'll get hit with abuse notifications (you hacked my site, you're posting spam, etc) pretty quickly.
- zo1 12y agoAt some point, someone linked to a site that let people donate or bounty-out for people to run Tor exit nodes, or relays. Can't remember the details, or the url, though. I've been looking for it...
