Yes, it just effects the defaults. As a client you can do whatever you want. This was discussed almost a month back in this thread. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Feb-2011/msg00013.html Relevant snippet: Despite its name, the BadExit flag really isn't a big whoop - the relays are still perfectly usable for guard and middle hop positions. They just aren't seeing exit traffic any longer. > The obvious next conclusion is that, since the flags are simply human > signifiers No, the flag effects the default behavior for clients. Clients pick nodes with the BadExit flag for the middle or guard positions, but never as an exit. -Damian _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
