I have not as yet purchased hosting so cannot answer the question.  Obviously if Debian is best then I would look for a Debian provider. What I want to do is to buy hosting with an amenable ISP or hosting provider so presumably I would not have root.  I then need to figure the easiest way to h

Lets start with: what OS and do you have root on this box? If it's, for instance, a debian based distro then that makes the setup a lot nicer. On Wed, Aug 17, 2011 at 9:57 AM, William Wrightman < williamwright...@yahoo.com> wrote: > I have a couple of questions about setting up a Tor relay. I've

WTF?  If you sign up and then go to the login tab, you are offered 2 login choices, ONE OF WHICH REQUIRES JAVASCRIPT!  Are these people idiots?  Javascript is disabled in any and ALL properly configured tor systems.  This setup makes me wonder about the validity of the tormail creators. _

If you can tolerate the fact that the system is Israeli run, Safe-mail.net is easily acquired via Tor and SEEMS pretty safe (but no telling to what extent the Israeli govt/Mossad has its fingers in the setup).  I would LOVE to see an EFF-sponsored/operated tor mail system.  I'd go for it in a he

Very good find, ( http://tormail.net/ ) and interesting. I wonder if EFF can set up a similar free email service that works similarly on the Tor network. Is there a list of free email services for which you can sign up for via Tor? Gmail always asks me for SMS / Phone verification via Tor, when I
