I thought the only problem was with exit nodes? If you have both the client and the server within the tor network, doesn't that make things because then everything is always encrypted?
- jacobwg 9y agoThe problem here is bandwidth - people on capped internet plans won't want to participate in the tor network traffic by running a relay on their IoT devices.
- lightbritefight 9y agoAll tor relays can be throttled by the user. Sane defaults can easily address this concern.
- adrianN 9y agoI think the real problem is the questionable legality of relaying Tor traffic. At least for exit nodes visits by LEAs happen somewhat regularly. Depending on your jurisdiction you can also get in real trouble (as opposed to having all your computers confiscated and returned when the law is through with them)... But if Tor loses its "the network for drugs and CP" reputation and instead becomes the "network for lightbulbs and toasters", this might change.
