> Perhaps udpgw instances can be run along side all Tor exit nodes? Isn't the DDoS potential extremely high if Tor allows UDP? Since there's no flow control with the end server, a malicious client can establish multiple circuits, all spamming traffic, turning the exit nodes into a botnet. Tor's fundamental design can't protect against this, right? It's indistinguishable from, say, a massive amount of unidirectional SIP traffic. Normally, the TCP flow control would help, since a remote server dropping packets would cause the exit nodes to back off. However, UDP is far less gentle. _______________________________________________ Guardian-dev mailing list Post: [email protected] List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To Unsubscribe Send email to: [email protected] Or visit: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/options/guardian-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com You are subscribed as: [email protected]
