Started Running A Tor Router

I've started to run a Tor server thanks to the Tor on Debian page, which includes Ubuntu. Tor is an implementation of second-generation onion routing - an anonymity system enabling its users to communicate anonymously on the Internet. I've been watching the server stats like a hawk to see if there were any adverse effects. I've already defined the exit policy to not be an exit node because keeping my IPs from being blacklisted is important to the continued operation of this server. I've also set the bandwidth limit as to avoid an ugly bill at the end of the month. However, I do believe what's holding things back is the number of file descriptors. I'll look into changing that as soon as possible. Right now the default is 1024, however, it seems that 8192 is the amount they would like so I will be changing that this afternoon.

Looking at these stats, keep in mind the server was started around 19:00:

Fuck Big Brother.
