I never respected someone so much for saying "used the arch installer, nothing much."
so modest.
Agree.
nothing too crazy is the actual quote
SMH
he means the literal python scripted installer
Arch installer is literally the easiest way to install btw...
I mean. To be fair it’s really not impressive and installing it the standard way isn’t that impressive either. It’s cool to learn from it but it’s not necessary impressive. By no means is using the “archinstall” command to be boasted about. It’s a guided installer that does everything for you
That "Im running Arch btw" was hilarious
Cheeky

@@choose_your_unique_handle that was too specific
If only we all ran exit relays. Sooner or later the judges will put their foot down on bringing cases of innocents showing up to court because cops think they are doing something illegal.
You would think so, but with how the governments around the world have been handling stuff like this I highly doubt it
@@paulspl2581 Yeah, was just talking about the elephant in the room. It would have to be a coordinated effort all at once.
@@Vermino 4chan could pull this off
What more than likely would happen is that they would only go after 1 person every month and over punish them to scare the rest of the people doing it.
@@Toonies777 Yeah, We saw that with the record industry on Napster back in the day. It failed miserably though. They couldn't find that ultimate "poster-child" that looked so criminal. It was always some kid downloading music or a single mother just trying to get by.. etc etc.
Media made good people root for the anti-hero's being sued. All while turning record industry into the villain.

i saw your comment on the last video, based
Lmfao this is the conclusion I needed
you should run your relays on BSD, or something that isn’t linux. like 95% of relays run linux, which isn’t very diverse at all, and it means an exploit could cripple the whole tor network
true i am just getting into open bsd and plan on migrating my nodes to that once i get my neck beard in shape.
And then tell someone that your relay is on BSD :)
From 7251 possible relays to search for, your enemy will have just 315.
And if you don't hide your country...
That is why I run relays on Haiku and OmniOS
TempleOS obviously
I run my relays on my old Nintendo DSi XL OS
Running an exit node is also a layer of defense when using a VPS as a proxy. Use a reseller that takes crypto and host a Tor relay to scramble your web traffic.
How is running an exit node a layer of defense in this situation?
@@k98killer your proxy traffics is mixed in with the tor exit traffic, and there’s no way for an outsider to tell which is which. Quite clever.
Damn u should show us how to do that. I'm kind of a noob here but I'd do anything to contribute to the overall security of the tor project. As long as I don't get my stuff confiscated for doing so
Can your choose your own exit node?? Me -> Vps as a proxy (hide from gov that you are using tor) -> tor -> running your own exit node .... is this correct?
@@officialp283I think he's saying running his traffic through the VPS so it mixes with the exit node traffic as it runs.
Look at your "observed" bandwidth. This is what limits your relay usage. Also you don't have Guard flag.
Once your observed bandwith go higher and you get Guard flag - more users will be connecting to your relay.
More users but not necessarily more bandwidth, bandwidth can actually drop when the guard flag is added
So I have an idea, mobile exit nodes
Couldn't it be possible to:
>take rasp pi
>water proof ammo can
>battery (smart battery preferably)
>sheet (flexible/flat) solar panels
>charge controller- smart version
Set up exit node using store wifi, leave device outside store hidden covertly: roof, guerilla glued near dumpster, etc
Then you do the honorable service of creating exit nodes while normies are swat bait
Some poor bastard serving drive through chicken tendies has to kiss the deck and chicken wing arms occasionally for that 15 an hour
I wish a knew more so I could shit on this but it seems too good to be true even to me. It can't be that easy
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't you need access to the router to port forward?
Hello based department? Yes I’ll hold.
Good luck putting a big enough solar panel for 24/7 operation anywhere "covertly". You might get a couple of days to a few weeks out of it before someone finds it and steals/wrecks it, or the store owner discovers and blocks it, or the local glowies do their spooky shit and you end up in a very interesting situation.
Exit nodes are a risk, and the more effort you put into mitigating that risk, the more it looks like you're trying to do something that warrants giving you a very interesting time over it. Probably better to leave running exit nodes to people who can't be touched by courts because they ain't doing anything that can be held against them!
@@shizno1872 Bro i will do it at a dunkin so glowies will raid a donut shop
I would be terrified running an exit Node.
@barnoftheyard he said why 2 mins into the video
@barnoftheyard Exit node traffic shows up to your ISP as being from you. If any of that traffic is illegal, you can be implicated. While nobody's been convicted off of this, it's humiliating, a hassle, and potentially reputation ruining.
@barnoftheyard YEAH THIS GUY GETS IT!!! CRIMES SHOULD BE LEGAL!!!
This could be my DIY project next weekend
@barnoftheyard stabbing someone is really just sending a message and a message is free speech so murder is legal (like bruh what you said is so dumb)
Censoring all that stuff must've been so tedious. I appreciate the effort for making the video anyway!
And he still left his IP address in qute a lot of frames! Hope the dude is okay
@@GoodlyPenguin f
@@GoodlyPenguin I almost sure that all revealed info is fake. I tried to make some onionoo requests - and no relays matching what he says were found.
Also StaleDesc is very rare flag. And his relay have it for a reason.
Camera tape is a nice touch!
Lulz.
Like 15 years ago, I ran a Tor relay node at a family members house, it was part of a CDN project that a few friends and I did (pre-cloud, we were some of the OG's). I figured we could maximize our internet prestige by running relays.
Anyway, one of the relays uptime was amazeballs with a broadband "high throughput" connection (limited to: 10mbps/2mbps), somehow made its way on "top lists" and the throughput shot through the roof. It was constantly maxing out the configured bandwidth. It got "so bad" that one of the CDN's ISPs sent them a "nasty" notice in the mail accusing them or being part of a dangerous underground network distributing malware and a bunch of other rubbish.
(We kept our stuff clean, constantly scanning and removing threats.)
It's been a while, might reconsider... Gotta look into registering a business, paying for a VPN and writing off the expense before I run another node 🤣.
If you host an exit node just do it on a server where you paid via monero. My friends house just got raided for running an exit node!
Do you know about any VPS that can be paid via Monero?
@@luisnegron8894Just search Monero VPS, got tons of results on it.
Very based. Spread the word of deglowification
I don't even use tor myself but I think I might set up 1 or 2 relays on an old toshiba laptop i have, just out of defending online freedom of anonymity.
thats the spirit
Paul you a real one 🙏🙏🙏
just make sure that you set up exit relays
@@cosmincaliinYeah, exit relays are needed. I'm running 4 exits on VPSes and have only received 3 DMCA notices, so I responded to them with a template from Tor's site.
Speaking in speculation. I feel the reason these videos are not doing as well as some of the others is because people like me are waiting until we have the capabilities to accomplish the mission before watching. I really do appreciate them and will catch up when I have the time resources etc to do my part. Keep up the good work and thank you for everything
>running an exit node as a tiktok challange.
if only. also please change your name orz
@@nirgunawish that would be a nice turn, dumb but at least useful.
I am running it on Czech VPS and second day I got around 7MB/s traffic.
I think it's because there is not that much TOR Relays in Czech republic and TOR is trying to use relays from different countries when making circuit.
Im running an exit node in Aussie land so I'm basicly speed running 99 years in j ail.
I mean why play Russian roulette when this is more thrilling?
Some time after running a tor relay, some websites might drop packets coming from your IP, so make sure you have a VPN connection to appear as a different IP to those websites. If you have a sophisticated router, you can set it up so that traffic to said websites gets routed over the VPN.
please please please do a video on how to run an exit node!
I want to run guard/exit setup. The TOR network needs more Bandwidth.
i think what ur gonna do is amazing but know that if you do run an exit node u will attract the attention of the authorities
Just uncomment the line in the config file lol
Can you do a video about the Lokinet? It's a tor alternative resistent against Sybil attacks (like KAX 17)
Please, look into making a video about NEBULA overlay network... its pretty cool tech.
Have you looked into tmux yet? Would (imo) be more comfortable to monitor and switch between the different contexts of the two running nodes. And you could also set up a script to start tmux, the necessary programs and position everything nicely, no need to ^Z, bg, disown, run nyx, in case you have to restart the laptop. Though I guess that shouldn't happen too often.
Based contribution to fight the glow.
Don't know if it's possible, but would love to see BSD content, there's not much of it on TH-cam
Yes sir. Good idea.
I would want to see a video from you about valorant's vanguard and some good shooters for linux, the only thing holding me from linux is that game
Got the tape over the camera nice
gotta put the extra thick tape on the relay camera.
@@MentalOutlaw Hi, Phil Swift here with Flex Tape!
@@MentalOutlaw but you missed 8:48!!!
Err
You set the speeds in the torrc in Byte/s not Bits. I'm not sure which monitoring tool you're using but I think you gave it 8 Gigabit/s
But thanks for the instructions and the participation :) love your videos :)
Any plans on running or showing how to set up an exit node?
Hey lad what do u think of sentinel DVPN? Supposedly decentralized vpn.
Vin and the diesels, great
Thanks ! My raspberry is on, with a tor relay !
thanks kenny
do you guys touch any configuration in the router settings? for me the logs shows that mine isn't able to connect to its designated ORPort, I tried with and without port forwarding to no avail also added tor to firewall exceptions but no luck
Can I run my VPN while being a relay? I'm a non tor user but would like to help if I can.
I love the "GTFOGlowie" name.
I have a few questions about this. I run a very unpopular forum that I host on my home server over tor. If I were to run my own node, would I connect to it by default when I browse on tor? Would I even want to run my own node?
No, running a Tor node is for others to use when connecting to Tor.
You would help making the network more anonymous though, so run a relay. Now its more Important than ever
>I run a very unpopular forum
if you meant unpopular as in not very many people use it you would've said small, so what you mean by unpopular must be that people actively hate it, so let me guess: cunny?
@@choose_your_unique_handle the fuck is cunny
@@MentalOutlaw bro 8:48 your video!!!!
8:48 and there's all of your information.....
BRVH
Hm but the fingerprint is the same as the fake one isn’t it?
I assume those are dynamic IPs so they change after some time/router reboot/etc, no need to panic
I need help configuring my relay. I set my ORPort to 9001, and opened TCP9001 traffic ony router, but Tor still says it might OR port is unreachable. Suggestions?
Me who ain't getting a single thing and yet still watching the whole video.
What if I am a exit node, but exit the traffic through i2p?
The family meme got me LMAO
I use tor so much, I wonder how many times I have used your nodes 🤷♂️
wouldn't the only point of having two relays on one connection be for separate hardware/backup?
Two relays only needed for very fast connections, when single CPU (single core to be precise, Tor is not much multithreaded) do not have enough performance.
Why would anyone want to run a tor relay, is there any benefit? Especially for a middle relay.
@Mental Outlaw you forgot to blur your node dashboard at 8:53 whoops
Couldnt you just get a bunch of RasPi machines running nodes?
8:20 did you forget to blurr?
Also why run two different tor relays on the same IP? What is the point?
And I doubt there is a way to ban a user from controlling multiple relays while not declared as part of the same family if they are all using a different public IP (unfortunately).
So who runs the tor exit nodes then if its so dangerous?
There's some VPS's that are supposed to be good for exit nodes but I haven't personally used them yet.
@@MentalOutlaw Can you recommend some good ones?

Seems to me like you want to get that out...
Shodan empty so that is a good thing
tor would still be useful even without exit relays, as long as running normal relays is fine tor will be fine, even some of big sites now have onion versions
if I did a tor non-exit relay doesn't this show my ip?
Interesting 🤔
step 1: run exit node
step 2: route all the outgoing traffic back through tor
step 3: profit
That would be useless, slow as # and wouldn't even be stable enough. What would be the profit ? Sharing your mail on Tor Metrics with advertisers and spammers ?? 😂😂
@@NONSTOP-VIDEOS without going into detail, having the "benefits" of seeing traffic and not having the dangers of being accountable for the traffic, could sound really interesting to some people ;) but this might go over your head
@@aidennymes6335 Why would you want to see the traffic? Isn't it each person's thing what they do on the internet? That's exactly why TOR has been created-because of people like you.

13:26 a frame shows the ips.
You don’t actually see the entire ips at this frame as they are cut off and the ones you do see are just for localhost that anyone can easily learn. There is one frame earlier in the video that shows the entire thing without blurred though.
@@warhawk_yt 8:48
@@sierra991 I was talking about the frame that he mentioned I also said only for this one since there is that one he doesn’t censor.
DUCT TAPE?? lol, nice
Could you possibly just get a few vps servers an just use docker to run two on each server?
yeah, you can rent 1 cores that are like 5 bucks a month. 1 - 2 relays per. for 50 bucks a month ud get like 10 - 20 relays depending on how many you setup
So.... who has the balls to run an exit relay, and how do I do that too?
What is a Glowie?
according to the urban dictionary, a glowie is:
Normally used for the CIA but also used for agencies like the ATF, FBI, etc. Their inability to blend into the native population's habits, patterns and speech makes them stick out like a sore thumb to the population, hence they "glow in the dark."
The most common trappings of government shills are their inability/hesitation to use the major racial slurs, improper use of memes, and the pushing of mainstream political theories.
@@bortsampson9136 the glow in the dark reference is from a live stream of the guy that made temple OS and holy C. some ordinary gamers did some videos about him.
gamer moment
i have private ip, can i create tor relay?
Agent agents watching this: **interesting**
So I have unlimited data, can I safely run this middle replay without the government getting onto me?
It's entirely safe to run relays as the information is 100% encrypted end to end. Don't run an exit node unless you want the fuzz at your door for crimes you probably didn't commit.
Depends on your government.
Good video but it's probably not a super great idea to show off the fact that you run a relay with a stale config as that is quite a rare flag to have and could lead others to identify your relay
Do you know why that flag is assigned usually?
You are correct. It took me 1min to find his node with that info.
6:13 "Lets talk about this variable here: my family"
Didn't notice 'mental outlaw' was also a humor channel ... kkk lol
Family. Family. Family. Family. Family.
if you missed the censoring in one place i would think "oh, that's just a lazy mistake, understandable", but you missed it in two places.....
Why to censor fake info? )
i believe this was a fake config, like some of the info was faked
@@zorbanoodle5272 you are wrong in that belief
@@user-ui4fn6fj3p maybe i am maybe im not.
I am running a relay right now because of your video. Just like I said I would on your last video. Other people watching better also do it! Gonna set up one at home as well, but mine is running at Scaleway right now.
I know TOR recommends not running it at Scaleway, but I'd say running one is better than running none!
@Nikolai Cetnik lol
Well I would have done it if I could have ran it as an app, on my main rig, while mining, but like this eehh.
EDIT: Can it run inside a vm?
Yes of course
