Maybe I'm taking a wrong approach, but personally I'd rather donate to other people who already have networks with Tor nodes and have taken the proper precautions.
Im still getting familiar with everything, any beginers advice would be great, I watched that youtube video, however it really didnt explain the set up. or the 3 levels of use
Sorry I thought they were just after accessing content, yeah if you want to do more (e.g. participating as a relay or host content) you'll need to setup a node.
