Time to roll your own tor relay, so that that someone has harder to reach that 10%.

I’ll be running a huge amount of relays soon… If things work out that is… Working on a massive anonymization mix network that combines several different hardware and software tools to allow for near-perfect anonymization… I will also offer proxy services as well as SIP services.

I2P, IPFS, Yggdrasil, Tor, and a few other filters, and load balancing networks too! Building the site in WordPress soon :smiley:

My Starlink ground station should ship in the next few weeks – I’ll finally have the bandwidth to take advantage of services like this!
