My concerns are surrounding the bandwidth utilization, and that TOR exit nodes usually find themselves blacklisted. I'd rather not run my mail server on the same IP as a TOR exit node. That being said, it's good to know they're TOR-friendly. With a little negotiation on bandwidth, they may wind up being an ideal provider. As it is, I've already submitted an order for a virtual server. Thanks again! - Damian Thus spake Ross Jordan ([email protected]) [22/07/08 15:04]: : FWIW, I'm running a tor exit node on my colo without issues.

This is exactly what I was looking for, and even meets a few of my un-stated requirements. Their pricing is at least on-par with some of the better hosting companies I've seen out there, and will at least suffice for my immediate needs (e-mail, jabber, DNS, etc.). I'll tackle TOR and Freenet when the time comes. :) : > : > : > Thus spake Robert Echlin [21/07/08 11:38]: : > : I am interested in this info, too, in the general "I hope to need it, but don't yet" sense. : > : Also, is there a place where people discuss colo-environments and related issues?

I have an idea that involves sending slightly or mostly different info to members, depending on a list of things they want to track. So maybe a few dozen emails per week to start, with possible rampup to dozens of thousands per day. : > : : > : And, no, I don't have time to implement this project. : > : > Is that a solicitation for assistance? : > -- : > OCLUG general discussion list : > [email protected] : > http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/oclug : -- : OCLUG general discussion list : [email protected] : http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/oclug : -- OCLUG general discussion list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/oclug
