How to Create a Tor Exit Node

Wow....

> I’ll go with Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty)

This is extremely old. I am aware that the Tor project tries to keeps their defaults sane for any use, but someone has checked that the configuration here is still valid for this use?

Also, running tor as a root is bad idea, I don't think the client allows you to anymore (or at least warns you)

I note that Linode will still let you run exit nodes on their infra (though they may ask you to respond to specific complaints to reduce the exit policy).

I got in huge trouble hosting one of these when I was a kid.

I saw some call-to-arms post that got me excited for the free internet and set it up on my parents' residential service.

You can imagine the fallout. No permanent damage though.

So let me ask this: How hard is it to create a temporary exit node that is basically a rasberry pi with a sim card or wifi connection say from a cafe, or any other public wifi, ans are online for say na hour or two? If we had enough of these scattered around, would it matter?

I wonder, according to law, what are the outcomes of maintaining an exit node, apart from having, I quote, _balls of steel_

best not, lads

Or the FBI setting you up and jail you for 3 years

Not to fear monger, in fact, the more people run exit node the harder it will be to go after individuals.
