Yet another VPS management panel...but I think Joe might actually be one to pull it off.  I think others look and say "well, that isn't so hard" and then after they get into the GUI side of it, testing, security, etc. they realize it's more work than they thought. Wasn't joepie91 doing a panel...

That's actually a side benefit to TOR, not the main or original purpose.  The main purpose is to defeat traffic analysis.  I suspect I'm telling you something you already know but pointing it out for others.  Without TOR, it's possible for a government to say "I don't know what you're saying...

Yep...that's why I like SD.  Class act.

This news gives me a big pony in my loincloth. Still planning to bump BW on the 1G/2G?

I've found my kimsufi to be a great place to run Vuze.  I don't use it for more than that, but I've had several boxes there and they've all been fine. Support is monosyllabic but fortunately they have a high degree of self-service automation.

Thanks for all the advice in my previous thread.  I realized I had an affiliate credit with 6sync and decided to spin up a TOR relay there.  I have a spare OvZ at BuyVM as well so maybe I'll run two. So the 6sync box is 512MB, 2 cores, 2TB BW. Here is how I configured my torrc (thanks to Nyr...

Speaking of TOR and botnets and hidden services... https://blog.torproject.org/blog/how-to-handle-millions-new-tor-clients

Yeah, I just took a look at the operating system source code to verify this and-- Oh wait.  It's Apple. I actually think you're right but...I hate having to trust.

I have a 4S.  No phone since that one has had a single significant improvement. Seriously!   Apple phone since then are "it's 15% better" events. The CPU is faster.  It's 64-bit now.  Etcetera - who cares? A better camera...yeah, I can see the advantage there because I use my iPhone camera...

Got an email from SD that they've changed up their pricing. For OvZ, I notice they're provisioning a lot less BW, though the email says it's sufficient to satisfy 90% of their customers.  That doesn't surprise me, really - I doubt most people use the BW they pay for. Some before/after: 32MB...

Maybe I missed it, but what is the strategy you're using?  10TB a month of bandwidth + the CPU to support it for $5 sounds too good to be true, but I may be misinterpreting.  

Thanks.  I wasn't planning on advertising tons of bandwidth - in fact, probably lower end of the scale because it is a VPS. I'm thinking a 1024MB, 4-core OvZ VPS.  Probably advertise 3-5Mbps?  Just guessing.  3Mbps (if I've done the math right) is about 1TB a month.  I know BuyVM gives 3TB of...

Thinking of running a TOR relay (not exit node) for general make-the-world-a-better-place purposes. - How big a VPS does one need to do this?  Disk doesn't matter but I'm wondering about CPU and RAM.   - Seems like KVM is perhaps a better choice than OvZ because you have more control over the...

Right.  Ideally, no deception is needed.  Because ideally, it shouldn't be needed. Now if I was working in some dissident movement under a repressive government, would I think twice about using a fake name to sign up for Gmail?  No.

"Forum" in the generic sense of the word - a place to speak.

That's interesting, wlanboy, but I was speculating more about speaking anonymous in the public forum (Internet), rather than speaking secretly.  Well, true, a TOR hidden service need not be secret...I guess it's a different path.  I hadn't really thought of that. I'm getting the sense the best...

So getting an reasonably anonymous email is still possible, I think - though Yahoo now requires a mobile phone number to sign up for email.  Sheesh! From there, you can get some sort of free web hosting shell account. Assuming you do everything over VPN/TOR (well, TOR to VPN actually), ssh...

I was talking with someone at lunch today about anonymity on the Internet and it sparked the question of whether it is possible to setup a completely anonymous web site. By this I mean that nothing in the creation or ownership of the site can be traced to a person.   1. You need a domain name...

Pretentious is more like it.

LET is giving me the "overcapacity" error now. I'm wondering if LET is paying the $149/month or $549/month vanillaforums plan.  $149/month for a dedicated server for a popular forum...maybe...$549/month to host LET...ouch.
