That would break sites such as DuckDuckGo which provide a hidden service for searches. Providing such a service is the most anonymous way to offer service to Tor users; it defeats the malicious exit node problem and many traffic analysis attacks. Like TCP/IP or any other tool, hidden services can be used for malicious purposes, but they can also be used for good. -andy _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
