have you experienced this? i've run tor at various times over the years and the worst i've experienced is being blacklisted in a relay list.
(and i find it frustrating that there's always someone - apparently with no experience - who suggests the very worst when people mention this)
- aes256 14y agoDo you mean as a relay or exit node? Exit nodes are the ones that take the heat. I would be very surprised if you've run a Tor exit node for a considerable period of time without incident, even if it's just abuse notices from your upstream provider.
- nkohari 14y agoAn instance of a Tor exit node operator being raided for child pornography is on the front page of HN as we speak. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4847468 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4847468
- andrewcooke 14y agocome on. you know as well as i do that this is rare. really, this is the height of technical cowardice. searching out exceptions for what is not only a good cause, but one that is statistically safe. it happens regularly when tor is mentioned. there seems to be a certain kind of person that takes delight in looking for extreme examples to justify their own lack of moral fibre.
- nkohari 14y agoWait, did you just suggest that I have a lack of morals because I referred to a link on the front page of HN? Kindly go fuck yourself. Also, it doesn't matter if there's a one in a million chance that running a Tor exit will get you raided for child porn -- the vast majority of people will not take that risk to help others remain anonymous on the internet.
