Right. And see also my future plans to make it just "80 and 443": https://bugs.torproject.org/23637 > The Exit probability is 0 without the Exit flag. 200 Exit connections > without the Exit flag ? Seems ylto be weird... I don't think it's that weird. You can read more about the goals of the Exit flag here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/22820#comment:3 but the simple summary here is that the Exit flag, and thus the exit probability, is about *load balancing*, so other clients can choose their paths in a way that produces globally useful choices. That is, think of an exit probability of 0% as saying "Other people should assume that I am not using any of my bandwidth for exit streams, so I am fully available for use in other circuit positions", not "there is no chance that you can exit from my relay". --Roger _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
