Re: [Trisquel-users] Blocking Facebook buttons and content

You might want to look at the Tor project's documenation for how the Tor  
Browser Bundle is made. They probably are the ultimiate authoritative source  
to enhancing privacy and anonymity. The actual Tor software though can open  
one up to certain attacks as intermediaries can see what sites you visit even  
though they may not be able to identify you. Except possibly where you might  
be logging into a non-SSL site.

If anybody has a server with extra bandwidth setting up a Tor relay, bridge,  
or exit node is of great help to that project. It isn't terribly difficult to  
do either. If you do operate an exit node just be aware that you are opening  
yourself up to being momentarily threatened by the authorities, your  
ISP/host, or others persuing copyright infringment. There haven't been any  
threats which were more than an inconvenience / embarressment though. If  
setup right the risk of being inconvenienced for running an exit node is  
actually very low. There may be a DMCA take down request for instance once in  
a while and as far as the authorities go there have only been a handful of  
people inconvencied by police investigations over the many years. Running an  
exit node is legal in most countries although the authorities tend not to  
understand an IP address does not identify a user or the orginating problem  
computer even.
