Tor does encrypt everything within its network. >> A small nitpick to check my understanding: even if you use Tor on IPSec, >> it is possible to send traffic that will be unencrypted at the exit >> nodes.

See: http://www.freeswan.org/freeswan_trees/freeswan-1.97/doc/ipsec.html#limitations In general IPsec is gateway-to-gateway; the basic design is for linking two networks by building an encrypted tunnel between their two firewalls. It is possible to create an end-to-end connection with IPsec, in the sense of machine-to-machine but not in the sense of user-to-user as in PGP email or user to app like an SSH login. _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
