Re: [tor-talk] Is it possible to adjust the number of hops through Tor?

It's possible if you're willing to edit the source code and build Tor yourself, but it's not advised. http://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/103/is-it-possible-to-make-the-tor-onion-routing-path-longer http://thesprawl.org/research/tor-control-protocol/#creating-really-fast-one-hop-circuits On

Olaf, Thank you for running torstatus.blutmagie.de. I'd like to second the request to make available the source code. I'm sure there are many qualified people here with the resources to continue offering this service in the event you are unable to do so. I don't think the stats attachment made i

Of course it's up to the owner to provide the source or not, but Olaf said he might just shut the service down. It would be a shame if the service vanished (or optimistically, someone else recreates it but they have to start from scratch). I don't care where the service is hosted, I just would pre

Re: [tor-talk] Why does parameter "StrictExitNodes" exist?

2016-03-10 Thread Green Dream
By default (i.e., StrictNodes is false) Tor will bypass your declared ExitNodes if it needs to do so in order for traffic to reach its destination. Imagine the scenario where all the exit nodes in your ExitNodes criteria have strict exit policy and they have no way to route your traffic to its dest
