I think you're missing the point of running a Tor relay. "The Tor network relies on /volunteers/ to *donate* bandwidth." Volunteer: A person who /freely/ offers to undertake a task, or, /freely/ offer to do something. Donate: *give* (money or goods) for a good cause. The Tor Project doesn't

There is a moral problem to know that the service you are running as an exit, for the sake of the mythical T-shirt, internet freedom and lack of censorship, is being abused to such an extent. I increased my exit speed from 2.5mbs to 5mbs and rose up the exit rankings such that abuse emails wen

Not sure eavesdrop is the right word, since ISPs throttle all sorts of traffic by inspecting it such as torrent, let alone TOR. I suppose we could argue that in signing up for an internet connection, deep in the ISP’s small print, we consent to that behaviour. Is it really true that consent h

It is heresy to suggest that Exit relays do anything of a sort, that is attempt to reject obvious attackers on an IP? Tor is neutral. Once TOR exits attempts any filtering where would it stop? It is a slippery slope. I think not, as to extend to other areas would far too complex and have diminis
