Prerequisites

This site is about running your own Tor node to participate in the Tor network. If you just want to privately surf the web through Tor, check out the Torproject's official Tor Browser or the Brave Browser which has Private Browsing Windows powered by Tor.

Hosting

You can run your Tor relay on every supported linux machine that you have SSH access to, be it in your home, a virtual server, or a dedicated server.

But not every hoster or ISP allows Tor relays in their network.

The links in the table above are affiliate links. If you want to support this page you can purchase a product through one of these links and I will get a small percentage of your sale value. 100% of the money will be used for maintenance of this site and my own Tor relays.

Please read the Terms of Service of the providers before signing up. Even if they allowed it in the past I do not take any responsibility if they close your account for deploying Tor.

You can find a comprehensive list of Tor-friendly companies on the official Tor wiki.

Sudo

In order to run correctly the install script requires that the sudo command is installed on your server.

To check if it is already installed simply run sudo in your terminal. If you get a response like -bash: sudo: command not found follow these steps on how to install it: Sudo installation tutorial
