I would love to run an exit node in my home. Last week I went to open a broadband connection and specifically asked can I run a Tor exit node using their connection. Local Finnish ISP Elisa told that running any servers is (formally) forbidden and I cannot run the exit node unless I buy enterprise level connection (which is of course more expensive). This is their business model and they have nothing against Tor itself. > Regarding criminal cases, EFF could assist a LEA-persecuted Tor > home exit node operator if they are in the USA.

At least Finnish police understands how the Tor network works. It is legal to provide an exit node. Again, it is still possible that they mess up your home, but eventually they will drop the preliminary investigation against a tor exit node operator because Finnish law allows explicitly transmitting third party traffic without any liability. When I opened my connection and told to my ISP that there will be an open wireless network for everyone they put that note into their system. So they know that and they will make it clear if police asks something about my connection. In Finland it is legal to keep your wireless connection open and there will be no liability for me if someone else uses that connection. - -Juha -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSgHD4AAoJELGTs54GL8vAxFIH/imP5rilcmVBNswEScAJaZIO klO/o9dKFxxQ10REAdkLelcZnhaZIirE2BQ4v76kjSEB62zqMRxLfJBp5LaKVMkl QbZfqt0MrvNV5LMKg2DD9veG42+hqh2mR9f2tBhSobHZ+ZwC32AxsqfCAdSreq6o 65Xz9FZwZB54g7h8WbgCvXY2ttilGvFbrDbrYHvyXD67g45DdCTRYBgPz8AcUnFI nA6h4M2wzcvQUOjYkAcZldBPxdWIlcXmnGaiiCoeqefqQXhQYISKgsx571VczHnp dSQDmdmGI5YWRr1Yrkg8vvwYsF8atZTWsn+sqnxJW6jIkGvakL4EWqWe3ELVMFI= =JB4R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
