Are keywords and values in torrc (and other) config files case-sensitive?

2009-08-12 Thread Ben Stover
When I enter some new instructions into e.g. the torrc config file: Are these keywords and their values case-sensitive or not? In other words is there a difference between exitnodes {us} and ExitNodes {US} Ben

That's totally possible too. However, my point there was that those behaviors are the easy part. The question is how to stop relaying for a short period without ending your 'uptime'. On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 12:05, Andrew Lewman and...@torproject.org wrote: On 08/09/2009 04:00 PM, Flamsmark

Hi, I wanted to get tor for use on IRC, but it seems prohibitively difficult to set up.  And I'm a programmer! There's this tor browser bundle that I guess is supposed to make it super easy to use, except I already have firefox, I don't want to download another copy of firefox and set that all

You're kidding me right. A VM? Why not just a windows kernel driver? Look at torvm, https://torproject.org/torvm.  It's still alpha-ware, but essentially does just what you want.  You mentioned you were a programmer, join us in improving TorVM. I'd like a pony, too. -- Andrew Lewman

Why not just a Windows kernel driver? Because it hasn't been written yet. You're welcome to help write a kernel driver, or a VPN host or whatever else you think is the next logical step to improving Tor. However, remember the version number: 0.2.1.*. Tor is not a 'finished' piece of software. It

Heh, well, I tell you what. You send me a hundred thousand dollars, and after the check clears I'll write you a great windows kernel driver. Otherwise, I'm broke, my life is a living hell, and I already have several projects I work on out of the goodness of my heart, so, I'm sorry. Thanks and

I'm not complaining about it, I'm just saying, if you want widespread adoption, a kernel driver is the way to go. And moreover, a kernel driver is easier to write and support than a VM. On Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 1:21 AM, Flamsmarkflamsm...@gmail.com wrote: Then perhaps complaining about the

'Widespread adoption' is not the current sort-term aim. While we all think that fast, universal, anonymous internet access would be a good thing, we simply can't support that right now. The volunteer network of relays isn't that big. Even now, Tor has trouble dealing with the network load. If Tor
