    Props to all the volunteers who have the balls to run an exit node. It is so much more to deal with than running a middle node

      AFAIK you should never run one on your personal IP

      Edit, wasn’t a personal IP. I mistook it when I read his apartment got raided. Advice still stands tho.

        There will still be a trail. Even if you’re renting a server. Who’s CC is on file? Unless you want to waste your time buying prepaid visas. And even at that, they could track it to the retailer and find out which CC was used to order that. And even if you went in person, there’s likely video footage. Etc etc etc. It’s incredibly hard to remain hidden nowadays.
