> Please separate the 'kill all streams' command from the NEWNYM command.
Yes, I would make that separate too. I would think a NEWNYM should only cause truly TCP new connections to use a new exit. While this is being examined, please have a look at my NEWNYM buckets proposal of 6 jan 2011... ========== I've commonly seen exits (or paths) reused within a certain period of time after issuing a NEWNYM. For the users that have such a need, it would be nice if Tor could optionally keep a historical bucket of configurable entry length (whether based upon time and/or number of prior nodes/paths used). Such that any such nodes or paths would not be reused so long as they remained in the bucket according to its expiry rules. And as an aside, to the extent it is not already done, different ports on the same host should not necessarily be aggregated over the same circuits. I'd wager that they should not, so as to appear separate to the observer. Mostly for efficiency. Think of checking/writing multiple email accounts on the same provider... via IMAP/POP/HTTP/SMTP... without exposing too much relatedness due to using the same exit for all at once. ========== _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
