It may even be less safe because it is a single collection point for connection info AND data and people may be fooled into trusting it. The site admits it is a middleman for regular and SSL connections. Also, it is in Germany so it is subject to their data retention laws, regardless how nice the owner is. The only thing i might use such a site for would be convenience, e.g. if i can't install Tor and would like to access a .onion website. > On Fri, Jan 1, 2010 at 1:39 PM, <[1][email protected]> wrote: > > On Fri, Jan 01, 2010 at 03:52:17AM +0000, [2][email protected] wrote > 0.8K bytes in 22 lines about: > : [3]tor-proxy.net > : Is it a good alternative if i am out without my TorBrowser Bundle? > > To be clear, this service has nothing to do with us as the Tor Project. > Years ago we asked > for a disclaimer, [4]http://tor-proxy.net/?q=en/node/1#official. �He > didn't > get the Tor url correct. > > : Whats the diff between the First option (express)and the third? > > You should ask him, [5]http://tor-proxy.net/index.php?q=en/node/7. > > I don't think anyone from Tor has actually met the operator, Ben. �I > can't make a value judgement on if this is good or not. �I like the fact > there is no client install, just connect and use Tor. �I'm concerned > that even if Ben is an upstanding privacy activist and truly logs > nothing, the connection to his dedicated server could still be watched > and logged by someone else. > > Perhaps Ben is on or-talk and can explain his experiences and the setup > of [6]tor-proxy.net in more detail. > -- > Andrew Lewman > The Tor Project > pgp 0x31B0974B > > Website: [7]https://torproject.org/ > Blog: [8]https://blog.torproject.org/ > Identi.ca: torproject > *********************************************************************** > > References > > Visible links > 1. mailto:[email protected] > 2. mailto:[email protected] > 3. http://tor-proxy.net/ > 4. http://tor-proxy.net/?q=en/node/1#official > 5. http://tor-proxy.net/index.php?q=en/node/7 > 6. http://tor-proxy.net/ > 7. https://torproject.org/ > 8. https://blog.torproject.org/ *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
