I work for an ISP in Switzerland. If you download a game you use 1Gbit/s+ for a few minutes instead of an hour or two. The average bandwidth used stays the same. Both don't require a lot of bandwidth and you have caches for their

>It would incentivize improving infrastructure No it wouldn't. The actual usage has a negligible impact on the expenses for infrastructure. Most people barely use any bandwidth anyway. Even on 1 Gbit/s lines the average bandwid

I think the main reason that GNU tools are overly optimized is copyright. [0] They just try to avoid any copyright claim by the old proprietary UNIX tools like the copyright on an empty file. [1] [0]: https://www.gnu.org/pre

Thanks for the link. That was what I was thinking about when writing my response about "complex code to do trivial things is kind of a meme." but i couldn't find it.

Not exactly an answer but OpenBSD sometimes has different portable versions of their software. e.g. https://www.openssh.com/portable.html

>GNU having ridiculously complex code to do trivial things is kind of a meme. One of the reasons is that GNU had to reimlmement UNIX tools as GPL code. How do you reimplement something trivial without it looking as the original to avoid

It shouldn't be a problem, at least i never had one, if you don't change the authoritative DNS servers.

Where do you have the information from that "all malicious traffic attempts to use privacy respecting technology."? I just checked an access.log (from a searx instance) and an auth.log for malicious traffic and it doesn't loo

Could you please post a source for this? The only thing i could find is from the man page "However, the fact that a client is accessing a Single Onion rather than a Hidden Service may be statistically distinguishable." but I'

Yes that's correct.

Can you just shutdown your nodes or can they force you to continue? Best practice for relay operators is to just stop the operation altogether if the authorities force you to attack the users.
319.
by bauruine 5y ago
The only attacks an exit alone can do is sniff all traffic and modify the traffic. There are constant checks done by the Torproject to detect bad exits that modify traffic but sniffing is not detectable of course. But both of those attacks

If you are running an onion service but don't need to hide the server IP, like you do if you also provide clearnet access to the same server, you should enable single hop mode [0] to reduce the load on the Tor network and also speed up

This sounds like you where runnig a relay and not a bridge. Bridges are not public so your bank had to actively harvest them to block you which seems unlikely.

Another point I would add is DNSSEC. With your own authoritative server you actually own the keys and don't have to trust another company. What's also not mentioned is the possibility to run your own hidden master and use a DNS pr

If you only use it for NAT traversal and don't need to hide your location you can setup a single onion service. This way your server makes a direct connection to the rendezvous points which reduces the number of hops from 6 to 3 which
