 Hi,

 In the Vidalia log file:

 Dec 06 05:14:45.484 [Warning] Requested exit node 'Ungoo5zie6raZeitheo'
 is in ExcludeNodes, or ExcludeExitNodes, using anyway.

 How is it possible?

 Thanks

You have specified 'Ungoo5zie6raZeitheo' in your Exclude*Nodes 
configuration, but tor will continue to use such nodes for internal, 
house-keeping activity such as directory fetches. The exclusion only 
applies to circuits you use for your anonymous traffic.

 I intentionally did not link to the Wikinews article: They're often junk.
 

I've confirmed this report by talking to people in the UK. At least two
of them are filtered in the manner stated by the Wikinews article.

I imagine that you can also observe by exiting through certain nodes
that have censoring ISPs.

I wonder if these nodes should be marked as bad exits?

Best,
Jacob

I saw nothing about this on the OpenNet Initiative website at 
http://opennet.net/ . Perhaps someone should tell them.

Not to stray too far off topic, this should be of interest to Tor node 
operators worldwide:


Berlusconi plans to use G8 presidency to 'regulate the internet'
http://opennet.net/news/berlusconi-plans-use-g8-presidency-regulate-internet

The article describes him as a media baron. That could be bad news for 
anonymity advocates.

Hi,

only few countries are on the list at opennet.
An example is finland:

An interesting point is that finland censors some GB
and many US sites, because of child porn.

Regards,

Rolf

It's interesting to point out that Finnish Wikipedia has the image and
the UK is not censoring that:
http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Killer

(most non-english Wikipedias do not have it, but only because they
have no album covers at all because they only permit images under a
free content license)

 I've confirmed the reports of UK ISPs censoring Wikipedia using some
 UK tor exists.



  
Opennet, interesting site.  Most especially the part where I learned
that a Turkish prosecutor seeks to identify a youtube poster.   Had
this video been posted via Tor, the prosecutor will be unsuccessful.
Censorship of opinions suck.

Tor-Vidalia communication

2008-12-07 Thread Geoff Down

Hi,
previously, if I started Vidalia when Tor was already running, I would 
be asked for the password.
Has this changed in 0.2.0.32 ? The torrc's I use for Vidalia or for the 
command line are different (and therefore the passwords are different).

What operating system, and is vidalia successfully communicating with
one instance or the other when you are *not* prompted for the pass?
