-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Asked a simple question on Online.net's hosting forum about whether or not they permit Tor relays and exits. Administrator of the forum (co/vice-CTO of the company) replies with this: (source http://forum.online.net/index.php?/topic/4642-do-you-allow-tor/?p=24618 )
"99% of its [Tor's] traffic is still pedopornography and piratery, so morally we thinks it's a "bad thing" to use (you don't promote freedom of expression to the cost of other freedoms and safety, especially in regards to children...)" Yeah, um, I use Tor every day for everything (same with most of you) and I'm sure a large majority of us don't download kiddy porn. p2p is disabled by default and torrenting/pirating media does not account for "99%" of Tor network traffic. "also police will probably ask us to lock your server for prosecutions within a week .... this happens all the time (and it is very boring for you and us)" Online.net is based in France, and I'm pretty sure that nobody in France has been locked up for running a Tor node. "I should also show you (but sadly I am of course not allowed to...) some of the pics we get with autorities requests, not very fun to see pictures of kids abused every day you know... (yes, we do receive such requests -daily-)" I laugh. Authorities aren't supposed to be able to show you the photos they've found to make a request to take down a box, am I right? I thought that went to a judge/court to get a legal order. "PS: you should also expect a lot of incoming DDoS on your box ... (one DDoS out of three these days are going to a ToR node ...)" ...but, your service absorbs all DDoS?!?! how is this an issue?!!?! tl;dr i don't suggest using online.net for hosting tor exits. maybe relays. - -- Michael Ball @cryptostone - 0x0BEF5055 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJTxFsZAAoJEPz+HqEL71BVPJsQAJfMDl9a7TysjgUw0UL9CW4n uIWHGv/vgD26c4FfQHSTW9SkDu+WVzeBN/mJLgreN8tVAGm/wOLjPc2MsQuqvt/A D/KcevE/YNdTdJTcLaJZEB1iBx6CpUpkjcKXFHI5ZLWrl7WZKuZPESuno06X0LAV lnrEJ89ZjuGsT/axjtkniN/kTzCbf8wXkf4nJpK52k/Y2PARYU/djhCSgIn1a3hI RrTPTv2iJfVZ9Hw+uEG9ssgo3ZWjPfA4x6ldnHs69FyNkz/d0iWOER1K6PDcXxr3 ll68Z1Ed1A/A5ohLnBIQregmcTeuw1GilOh330dnon/GZ8mgA+jF22tLKO2qjvAR G3ZShMVaxh9CcuTOcVJblJLKi0nMgJEwD8djmCvCdwOgxDElyZNbA6e4yGttQ1wa ZFRHh/qylg0x0/SEazo/0lMhtcXuX/o7ciCngJvdPFcjcdvu8X10Id1oKAxsc+o1 n/0hqXBaXZoBA/t7/s9BCDKWgHvM+kZZ1dewegcJ8Krj5aB1TH+Z8Moyb+5Dour1 P2N0xWHuhTyI7doJJ6+Lhu43H0wkqSEu5K9cLSREiu/a5UDEKlDfZKIAsPBw1idy dl/PlFa0WGyL0R2v50e8ahqaoN5w/Kwi+VkA7pW7WoBP0XUYBM/586aH8Am1BV/k jnu9Z3N3fJZngBxCG5Uh =zOhC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
