I was not so much being critical of it as just wondering how it worked. That seems very interesting to me.

I have look a bit at tor and have seen they have legal templates and letters for responding to complaints but very clearly state “you should not run a Tor exit relay from your home".

I have never run anything like this but I like the idea and will look into MYST.

I have been running several exit nodes for many years now and never even thought about legal templates.

I also don't think about legal templates every time I drive over the speed limit.

A young police officer stopped me in my own village for speeding many years ago.

I was so aggrieved at people speeding in my village, I had a serious go at him for allowing people like me to speed, he was so taken aback, he apologised. I told him to get his act together and drove off at speed to my house.

We are not the same 🫂 but I appreciate your interest in the incredibly enshitificated legal system. 😂

Perhaps we are not the same.

I think it is reasonable to take the advice of a service when they tell you not to run a relay from your home (as is the case with tor)

But perhaps that makes me a rule following coward 🤷‍♂️

Tor advises you not to run an exit node, I run a snowflake (middle) node

Also, the U.S. government advise you not to visit China 😂

My concerns are not unfounded. The mysterium team has even put out public responses to their node runners being raided by police for distributing illegal content.

All I was initially asking for was their guidance and best practices for dealing with and minimising the risk of these potential issues which can be found here: https://dvpnalliance.org/exit-node/

Perhaps this is equivalent to being scared to catch a flight because sometimes planes crash but I think it is reasonable to understand the risks and guidance around participating in something that could make you a target.

It’s a frame of mind.

People who wish power over you prefer you worry about what’s legal instead of what’s right.

It is very true that is what they wish.

The lie of the coupling of legality with morality.
