It depends on how much traffic you are pulling. They will not be able to decrypt the information, however that doesn't mean they can't terminate your account. If you upload significantly more than you DL, then you are technically a server. Chances are they have a "but we can terminate your account if we don't like you" clause in the TOS so this is all a moot discussion to have. Basically, if you keep it low traffic and don't cause any troubles it shouldn't be a problem, but an FTP server is a different story. I haven't personally had any experience with Verizon and lots of people would appreciate if you would post a little report after you've been running it for a while. How do they deal with DMCA letters? Legal threats? Etc. Comrade Ringo Kamens

I have Verizon DSL 3Mbps/768Kbps that I want to run a Tor middle-node server on. However Verizon's TOS prohibit any kind of servers. Do ISPs really care about whether people run servers on residential accounts and do they scan ports? If so, how often? Will they be able to decrypt the data from a middle node? Is it worth also running a public web\ftp server (on a different port than 80\21)? If they find out, will it be a warning letter or termination? ________________________________ Ready for the edge of your seat? Check out tonight's top picks on Yahoo! TV.
