Most (all?) of them aren't in Russia. I run half of the "Russian" exits and they are in Norway they just use Russian IPs.



That sounds like a good way to run exit nodes without getting your home raided


How did you implement that? Tailscale?


It's the provider I'm using that does it for the Tor exits people host with them. I don't have my own IPv4 space, which is something like 8k$ for the smallest useful subnet and that's too expensive for a hobby.

They just have a Russian ASN and IP space but it's still located in Norway.


how about a Show HN?


About what? Running Tor nodes is pretty boring as long as you don't get a police visit which I luckily didn't have till now.


you have a german nick name suggesting you are german, you run tor nodes in norway which appear to be located in russia ... i think that is already a lot of technically interesting stuff. also many people would probably like to understand why you do it and how much you spend for this hobby(?).
