I might misunderstand how Tor works, but unless you are a relay I don’t think you participate in routing. Unlike BitTorrent, clients don’t automatically contribute resources back to the network.
- stavros 3y ago~~My (perhaps mistaken) understanding is that all nodes relay, but not all nodes are exit nodes.~~ EDIT: They do not.
- georgyo 3y agoAll nodes to do not relay by default. They definitely have the ability to, but it is not the default.
- stavros 3y agoAh ok, thanks.
- Dylan16807 3y agoThat depends on how you define node. I would not call the software you run to connect a "node". And in that framework, I would say that node=relay.
- nektro 3y agothis is a fatal flaw of Tor imo, it should be a question front and center to enable all browser installations to be relays

- LoganDark 3y agoBut critically not exit nodes. Exit nodes should still only be run by people who know they are running exit nodes.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoI'm not sure exit nodes should exist in the first place. Everything should probably be a tor hidden service instead.

(Ed corrected link to be the sentencing rather than raid) This _inevitability_ ensures/d it never could be set up like that. You don't seed the sites you've visited you serve _any_ site the visitor wants.
