Actually, this scenario happens in practice in Iran. > Would it hurt to implement obfsproxy into a relay? Somebody needs to sit down and solve https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/1776 first, or clients that configure your relay as their bridge will trigger an assert after a while. Solving it involves refactoring how we keep track of what purpose each descriptor is for. (In the past, small bandaids have turned out not to be a good idea.) --Roger _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
