On the other hand, TOR also helps dissidents in places with restrictive governments communicate with the outside world.

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. Quite a few systems block users that come from the Tor network, particularly Wikipedia. Tor is a popular method for vandals to not only hide their IP address but to use multiple IP addresses to evade any attempt to block their IP address. I've also come to understand that it drives the FBI nuts when it turns out that Tor has been used in connection with a crime. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
