No. Many nodes route their exit traffic out some address other than their OR IP, knowingly or not, and still retain the exit flag. > would make it harder to measure the traffic as parts of it would disappear > to anyone monitoring you exit node. Well, plaintext wouldn't be visible if you buried it in a VPN to some remote gateway, but that's about it. It also makes it harder for censors to block Tor users of the exits because the exit IP often won't show up in various RBL/DNS lists populated via the consensus alone. -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
