Noisebridge has joined forces with the Tor Project and the EFF to let people donate to a US non-profit organization and directly see their donations turn into Tor exit nodes.

How does it work?

1. Donate money to Noisebridge using the buttons and links below
2. Noisebridge sets up Tor nodes
3. Together we make the Internet a more free place!

How much does it cost? Is it working?

• Noisetor installed our first node on September 9, 2011.
• As of December 7, exit01 is pushing 320 Mbps of Tor relay traffic, with peaks of 490 Mbps (about 120 TB / month).
• exit01 costs us approximately $800 per month to operate. A $30 donation covers one day of operation!
• Providing an equivalent service on Amazon EC2 would cost around $10,000 per month.
• $10/month supports 50 secure, anonymous proxy connections (assuming 120 kbit/sec, per user, on average).
