Snowflake is an entrypoint into the tor network, not an exit point. I’m not a lawyer but I don’t think there are any legal implications, or maybe in Russia or Iran. And the whole point is that its traffic is very hard to identify.
Comment on What to selfhost if you have a lot of bandwidth
xana@lemmy.zip 6 days agoI am curious how much bandwidth it comsumes a month ? And do you have any legal implication for doing that ?

There’s nothing illegal about using Tor, which was developed and published by the US Navy and supported by the US State Department. Like other users have said, this is not an exit node which is the only type of node that I would be concerned about running.
Definitely look into I2P which, in a nutshell, is a peer-to-peer version of Tor. Hosting an I2P router comes with no legal risk, too.

it logs out stats ever 6h. The last on my VPS were: 2,7 Gb IN and 120,5 Mb OUT. So in 30 Days it would be around 243 Gb IN and 10 Gb OUT Traffic.
i run it since years on two Hetzner VPS in Falkenstein, Germany and didn’t get any compains.
