To the OP the open Internet carries FAR more botnet traffic.. perhaps we should block the entire net? If you want to stop botnets.. educate people. Teach them how not to get infected. Teach them how to tell if they are infected. Teach then to use firewalls that are not outbound leaky and are on an independent machine used just as a FW with no remote admin. Proper security practises would do far more to stop Botnets then worrying about Tor. -- free...@fastmail.fm free...@gmail.com This e-mail has been digitally signed with GnuPG - ( http://gnupg.org/ )
