Right. Relays protect themselves from being used as one-hop proxies, because it could make life harder for the operators: "Currently there is no reason to suspect that investigating a single relay will yield user-destination pairs, but if many people are using only a single hop, we make it more likely that attackers will seize or break into relays in hopes of tracing users." https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#ChoosePathLength --Roger _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
