A firewalled router will not work correctly (it will be slow as hell, basically, and you'll be leeching off the network instead of contributing to it). I appreciate the project as much as anyone interested in it, but let's be real here. On top of that, no router will work efficiently right after installation, firewalled or otherwise. You have to give it time to find other routers and make connections. It's just not suited for the immediateness almost everyone expects from everything nowadays. It needs a major revamp in order to increase its adoption.
- fsflover 6y agoThis is all true. However if the goal is convenience, speed and adoption, one could decrease the number of hops and it will work much faster. > and you'll be leeching off the network instead of contributing to it Does not look like a problem in Tor (despite one would expect otherwise, given that by default you do not contribute back unlike in i2p). You just need enough seeders.
