I was wondering...would a change to tor exits so they direct through public proxies/anonymizers get around black lists? The tor user would still be anonymized but the ultimate source address seen by blacklisting websites would NOT be a tor exit so blocking tor exits would fail...
Is this too simple? Perhaps add a setting that those who run exits could configure so their exit routes to a proxy? praedor ________________________________ From: TheMindwareGroup <[email protected]> To: Tor mail list <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 10, 2014 5:31 PM Subject: Re: [tor-talk] Blacklists Call me pessimistic if you will but unfortunately censorship is something the heavy weights that run the joint want, and since they own the media and make the laws is something that isnt going to go away. [...] Having said that... 1) Many of us can slow the tide and make things very difficult for them, something they would rather avoid, sometimes but not often to the point of them giving up, but at the end of the day these people have all the power, money and make the laws ultimately they get there way. Remember there is a lot at steak, there ability to lie to the masses and maintain propaganda superiority is a powerful tool (which is what this is really all about) they aint just going to throw away because we want privacy. 2) Business's have no interest in stopping Tor anyway persay as pointed out it loses them money from potential interested customers, so an open recommendation of good practice from a reputable group like the EFF could work wonders. You should just treat anonymous people as anonymous people and restrict there ability to cause damage accordingly, if they want more access rights get an account and login. 3) We cannot stop them doing censorship its a pretty forgone conclusion it isnt going away, but what we can do is change it from the government choosing to the community standard (us) choosing. Not particularly easy but there are ways of doing distributed voting systems. ~Shadowman -- ~TheMindwareGroup [email protected] PGP: 0xf4b6586f -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
