+<h2><a class="anchor" href="#server">Step Five: Configure it as a server</a></h2>
+<br />
+
+<p>The Tor network relies on volunteers to donate bandwidth. The more
+people who run servers, the faster the Tor network will be. If you have
+at least 20 kilobytes/s each way, please help out Tor by configuring your
+Tor to be a server too. We have many features that make Tor servers easy
+and convenient, including rate limiting for bandwidth, exit policies so
+you can limit your exposure to abuse complaints, and support for dynamic
+IP addresses.</p>
+
+<p>Having servers in many different places on the Internet is what
+makes Tor users secure. You may also get stronger anonymity yourself,
+since remote sites can't know whether connections relayed through your
+computer originated at your computer or not.</p>
