How can you be sure "they" are not running the exit node?
- vinceguidry 13y agoControlling the exit node does not inherently compromise anonymity, only allows access to the plaintext message. If using end-to-end encryption on top of Tor, you should be able to maintain both anonymity and protection from tampering and snooping.
- delinka 13y agoThey still don't know the source of the communication. Running an exit node means they can see where traffic is headed as it emerges from Tor, not that they can magically determine from whence it came. The problem here is that the destination can identify you. You, after all, are the one paying for that VM instance at that IP address within AWS. Who else would be connecting via SSH?
