Hi,
is anyone contributing to OpenStreetMap by using Tor? (the onion
router)
Is there any opinion from anyone about this? Tor is used to strengthen
ones privacy by the technology trying to prevent revealing the ip
address of the user.
Since the project doesn't log IP Addresses as far as I can tell, there
is no privacy gain by using TOR.
It will be good to check for sure. Certainly in my CommonMap project
it's a different story, I'm using Apache httpd as the web server. Out
of the box httpd logs IP addresses in the access_log. I think OSM is
also using Apache httpd now as well. It's likely that the sysadmins
would almost never use the logging results, but it could still be a
problem if, say, the hardware got seized for investigation.
