Re: Is gatereloaded a Bad Exit?
One could argue that recording traffic goes against the spirit of the tor project and anonymity in general. But even if people do monitor the traffic as long as they don't control both nodes there is little chance that the end user can really be tracked. There is also an onus on the end user to still practice safe internet habits and be careful about still using SSL, when they are entering passwords, or doing similar sensitive things. Tor was not designed to make internet browsing safe in a general sense, rather it is meant to provide away around firewalls and censorship so that people can access the open internet without a fear of getting tracked as easy. -Andrew On Jan 29, 2011, at 8:56 PM, grarpamp wrote: I dont see how to recognize if the traffic is recorded? I know people who record exit traffic, lots of it. And they do all sorts of things with it too. Does that news trouble you? If so, you need to readjust your thinking. *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/ *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
Re: exit node config for egypt IP range
That is not really how Tor works as far as I know. A more dedicated proxy like squid is what you should look for. Similar to what was done for the Iran protests. But adding new nodes helps the entire network, and increases general capacity. If know someone that needs something more specific like a VPN tunnel then that is a whole other issue entirely. With that said I would be more then happy to get that setup for people if that is required. I am sure others on the list would do the same.

Re: Torservers: Update on move to UK on the association
I doubt that I will be able to get to dresden, but is there a chance of some sort of video conference? I like the idea of putting together so sort of official group behind the tor exit node operators. There are a ton of things that this could encompass, and we could roll up a few different efforts under one header. Also it allows those that want to sponsor nodes, but not deal with the tech side of it to contribute.

So much for the 72hr deadline issued on Dec 5th (because of one DMCA complaint). I could just move the one dead exit to one of our unused IPs, but we have used up most of our bandwidth in the current billing period anyway (85TB at the moment, one week to go), so it doesn't hurt that much and I'll let it run with three Tor processes for the next week.

Re: blutmagie law enforcement inquiry stats
Recent cases of people being stopped by DHS as they enter/exit the country due to political causes they are affiliated with. Not really anything to do with Tor yet, but wikileaks or hacking in general.

Re: blutmagie law enforcement inquiry stats
What do they typically ask for, and is it from any place in particular? Also what sort of things typically generate these notices?

I never did run into difficulties with police so far. However I'm not sure what will happen at certain country's airport immigration. In most cases the police officers are quite polite and almost happy to close their file cause the trace ends. I suppose it's much more easy to deal with law enforcement if you appear 25 times a year on police's radar than only once. At least they tend to believe my words. regards Olaf *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
