DNSPort and DNSListenAddress and SocksPolicy

2009-02-05 Thread Wesley Kenzie
I see that the Tor client settings for DNSPort and DNSListenAddress (as are SocksPort and SocksListenAddress) are subject to the SocksPolicy setting, but this is only an entrance policy. What is the default exit policy then? Is it the same as the ExitPolicy setting? And do the ExitNodes,

Hi everyone, Please do not give money to node operators. This will complicate matters and bring in the wrong people. I support sharing costs for a node in a small group of people, but don't make it a way to receive money from anyone - there will be people who abuse it. It might also have legal
