If you have the technical and OPSEC wherewithal, it appears that running you own "private" (PublishServerDescriptor 0) exit node has become an extremely attractive anonymity tool.
There are lots of downsides to this (epistemic attacks), but if your anon use case makes sense for such a setup, it is a valuable tool to have in the toolbox.
- Torgo 12y agoCan you explain this? bridge relays are setup using "PublishServerDescriptor 0" but exit nodes? How does that work?

If you just config it with PublishServerDescriptor as 0 and someone else knows the IP (middle relays) they will be able to use it. It's essentially a function of not announcing the node to anyone. Edit: And to be clear, priv exit nodes don't prevent the timing attack in the article.
