a (real) IP. Rent a vserver with root access for about 10 bucks a month, you wont even need a machine yourself. Or find some "housing" service where you can put your own little machine that get's its own IP. And keep the installation simple. Run tor only. And read the 2 or 3 pages on

That reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask lately... Has anyone tried running Tor on top of OSv (http://osv.io/)? As I understand it, OSv is an ultra-small OS which is Linux API-compatible and designed for running a single app only atop a virtualization stack. For example, it should, in theory, be possible to run the Tor daemon within a copy of OSv, that would be the only application running inside of that VM, and it should be running like greased lightning because it would be the only process running in that VM. Granted, it is fairly new so I do not believe anyone has done any serious security analysis of OSv, but it seems like it would be an ideal candidate for a very high performance Tor node. - -- The Doctor [412/724/301/703] [ZS] Developer, Project Byzantium: http://project-byzantium.org/ PGP: 0x807B17C1 / 7960 1CDC 85C9 0B63 8D9F DD89 3BD8 FF2B 807B 17C1 WWW: https://drwho.virtadpt.net/ "Look up!
