Re: [tor-relays] RFC: does a private exit would work?

I can only speak with anonymity in mind, since this would mean you run a "vpn" service (having a "quad-vpn", but actually one that makes sence in that its not just 4 different servers of one company). Having an access line would either mean you'd need to identify yourself (and of course it
