Would like to make a suggestion regarding Tor configuration.
It's just a bit for improved privacy which is to uncomment the following line in /etc/tor/torrc

Code:
ExitPolicy reject *:*

This will prevent your node to be an exit node in the Tor network. Being an exit node allows for 3rd parties to get certain info from your node.
