This is what a Tor Supporter looks like: Laura Poitras
- justinclift 11y agoTor is an amazingly good start :) to things. Tails seems to be decent as well. Hopefully there aren't other major vulnerabilities that turn up in it... but that's like wishing for a pink unicorn that er... expresses rainbows rearwards. :D
- pearjuice 11y agoGood for them that they managed to find a non-neckbeard person which doesn't ramble about the UNIX philosophy at sight to promote the TOR network.
- benevol 11y agoI can't imagine Tor being viewed differently by the NSA than any other honeypot tool out there. (How would they still not have completely overtaken it today?)
- dil8 11y agoIt seems that over the last 5 years the number of exit nodes has remained relatively constant [1], I assume to the risks associated with running an exit node. What is Tor doing the increase number of exit nodes? [1]https://metrics.torproject.org/relayflags.html https://metrics.torproject.org/relayflags.html
- phw 11y agoThe Library Freedom Project is working on deploying exit nodes in libraries: https://libraryfreedomproject.org/ https://libraryfreedomproject.org/
- flixic 11y agoIt seems like a good way to support Tor would be to open exit nodes. And a good way to promote that would be to sell pre-configured, "just plug in power and ethernet" Raspberry Pi.
- dest 11y agoIMO, the major challenge of hosting an open exit node is the legal burden of receiving complaints about Tor traffic. I am not sure a PnP Tor RPi would help on that point.
- ironlady 11y agoAgreed, Ive run a few nodes on and off for years, and to date I still have one in the neatherlands running however I have never run an exit node, because I'm just too nervous of the legality around it.
- phw 11y agoRaspberry Pis don't make very good relays. They don't have enough CPU power to relay non-trivial amounts of data, and slow relays that clog easily aren't useful to the network.
- listic 11y agoOdroid C1+ is a better alternative, as it has hardware gigabit Ethernet and still inexpensive ($35). [1] Raspberry Pi's have USB-based Ethernet; it has poor throughput and I heard reports of Ethernet hanging under load. It's better to have something with proper hardware networking and, ideally, disk controller for heavy usage scenarios.
