-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 There is, it's old but it's something that could be built upon, an old variant of Damn Small Linux called ELE (everything leaves encrypted) that could be used as a base for something like this. It could be updated, complete with webserver & whatever else, and set up to install on a hdd with out a lot of trouble. Just a thought, but I do believe it would work.

Something like a debian linux package. With | the next release of this anonymous communication package a new version | of the webserver, privoxy, etc would be included. | | Imagine the normal user not having to start or configure anything. His | homepage would be online whenever he is using tor. Most people even | forget to start the webserver when they use tor. That would attract sooo | many new users just because of this funcionality. | | If every user is a router(not necessarily an exit) and has a | webserver(securily configured by the tor team) running as soon as he | starts Tor then this would also dramatically increase the speed of the | tor network. If we make it give and take then that would totally rock. | If every user is forced to give at least 10% of this bandwith then that | would help already big time. People that want to be anonymous will not | object to this. | | There would be no need to ask people kindly if they could donate some | bandwidth. Every user will understand that this is necessary. And they | are paying for internet access anyway. There is no drawback for them. By | giving they are also receiving. | | I really hope that this will be implemented. I know there were lots of | discussions about this already in the archive. | But this really, really is important. Why not have 200 000 routers or | more instead of 480 knowing that these routers at least give 10% of | their bandwith? | As the internet connection speeds of users will increase in the future | Tor will automatically benefit from this. Tor is free to use and the | least thing users can do is give bandwidth. | | I don't know if this is possible but how about somebody receives just as | much bandwidth as he offers himself. | If he is giving much then Tor will look for a circuit of nodes that give | just as much. In a user base of 200 000 users that should be possible. | | This could prevent such attacks like the one from the Boulder university | as well. | | I don't see any Tor servers from Korea for example. But there surely are | lots of users. In Korea they have very fast connections. | If all of them become Tor routers Tor would fly. | | What exactly is the reason that there is a tor client and a tor server? | A button with which people choose to be an exit or not would suffice. | Only one Tor software(client & server combined) and everybody is a | router with at least 10% bandwith. | | I am telling you nobody would ever use public procies again with this | implementation! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGA8J8lzq1/FLekkARCitnAKCFZiGJntSiI3DpU7aLFSPOegaPJwCfULKN zI1XCKUIaPJt4lO5cS5APN0= =zwuH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
