Even if you don't disclose your proxy in the headers, there still is a superior risk due to the fact that an attacker knows that there is a more than average proportion of your users that are using you as first node. This proportion is derivable from your proxy trafic (as you mention there is some risk in having a second, different service that access tor). Adding a fourth node to your server circuits could plug this hole, even make it more secure for some users, I guess, but it would also make it slower, probably for every users (I'm not sure it would affect trafic for which you are not the entry node). > > I was wondering recently about the security implications of such a setup. > > > > I was thinking of using a vpn to access my Tor server.

Also, what Bluestar is doubled. I already use the vpn for other things local to that network so it's not obvious that the trafic coming in is going out through tor or staying in. At the network level both tor connections look the same (random local port -> tor server port). I was mostly asking if at Tor's level there would be some abnormal behavior (like connecting twice to the same node) that could tell an attacker that there is two tor instances generating those connections and, eventually allow him to tell their trafic apart. > If we build a VPN from my server to yours, not > only me is theoretical able to spy on the traffic, but also you.

It's a generalisation of your setup and so has the same implications security-wise.

Hi, I have a few concerns about your proxy setup and service. First off, you should disclaim that this site and service isn't an official project of Tor. People may confuse your url with the real Tor and think they are getting the same anonymity properties. Second is a concern over the last bullet point at the bottom of http://tor-proxy.net/impressum.html. It appears to say that you are recording IP address and browser in a log file. Additionally, the log file is purged when 48 hours old. Why log at all? Simply disable all logging in relation to the proxy service on the server. The default Tor log settings should be sufficient. Third, can you publish the source code that runs the proxy site? It appears you are using php and CGI:Proxy code to interface with Tor. Feel free to choose a FSF-approved license, such as the GPL or 3-clause BSD, and publish the source for the site, along with any dependent software and licenses as required by their license terms. Fourth, in order to be more transparent, you should publish the configuration of the proxy. A clear description, whether text or graphical, will help increase the trustworthiness of the service. Fifth, you probably want to publish the fingerprint of your self-signed ssl cert, or look into getting a cert signed by a browser accepted CA. This is weak, but possibly better than nothing. Sixth and final, if you decide to put ads on the site or become a commercial entity, please contact The Tor Project before doing so. We cannot allow a commercial entity to confuse users about Tor. As an open source project, the disclaimer in the first paragraph may be enough to not confuse users. Feel free to bring up any questions/concerns with my six requests. Thanks. -- Andrew

No, it does not use a seperate Tor-Client. Therefore it doesn't make sense to exklude my node. It uses the Tor-Session which runs as a tor-node. So if you spy on the traffic of the server, you will not be able to see, which traffic is from routing traffic for acting as a server, and which from acting as a client.

I really don't know, if it will be possible to identify the vpn-connection because of the data which is transferred. But it would be possible, to see that there is another service running than tor. Also, what Bluestar is doubled. If we build a VPN from my server to yours, not only me is theoretical able to spy on the traffic, but also you.

Does your proxy use a separate Tor client, do you exclude your node as as an entry? I was wondering recently about the security implications of such a setup. I was thinking of using a vpn to access my Tor server. From there, all vpn traffic would be proxied through another tor instance running in client mode with no bw limitations. Would that be more secure because a tor server is already running there or less secure because, if in some way, the traffic from the two instances could be differenciated and the vpn connections would make the whole system less secure because they would allow timing and statistical attacks relating vpn traffic to the second tor traffic? If this is insecure then you could expose your users by using a second instance. If it is secure then it is a necessary mesure, I think. Otherwise, you could be offering access to a lesser secure version of Tor for your users by circumventing the three nodes "by-design" circuits of Tor. pgpXJTOMh7WD2.pgp Description: PGP signature

Of course, that is true, and I mention it in the FAQ. But you can ask every anonymizer on the web the same question.

Servers and the "Named" flag (was Re: time needed to register a serve)

Alas, we've pretty much stopped assigning the Named flag to servers.
This is because it's a time-sink to manually go through and make sure
the server is actually acting correctly, go put the keys in the right
place, etc. There have been some proposals to make it easier, e.g.
https://tor.eff.org/svn/trunk/doc/spec/proposals/113-fast-authority-interface.txt
and at some point we should do one of them. See also the discussion
under http://archives.seul.org/or/dev/Apr-2007/msg00040.html
I'm a fan of solution #2 in the above url: there's no reason why a human
needs to be in the loop, and if we don't know the operator on the other
end, the "Named" flag doesn't mean what it meant in 2003 when we created
it anyway.
Once upon a time (2003 era), you needed to be manually approved or you
wouldn't be able to join the network. The primary reason was that we
needed to verify that your server was reachable, working, etc. Then
we got more than a dozen servers, including servers run by people we
didn't know, and we automated the process of testing reachability at the
directory authorities. Then we started to allow unnamed servers to join
the network and play pretty much the same role.
The only main difference at this point is from the client perspective:
if you manually specify a non-named server in your torrc or using the
foo.exit syntax, your Tor will complain to you (well, to your logs)
and suggest a hex digest that you should use instead.
Now, there is an argument for letting people remember nicknames rather
than hex digests. But I would eventually like to see some sort of
graphical "server picking" interface that most users would use, and it
would be smart enough to know the hex digest of the picked server. If,
that is, we need any sort of server picking to be happening at all --
most users I hear from who need to specify a specific server rather than
just let Tor pick for them seem to be doing it to get around crude access
controls on websites or other services, and I'm not sure that's an arms
race I want to get into.
There are other problems that need to be solved from a usability angle.
For example, if the nickname Alice picks is already registered, then when
she tries to sign up her server, it will print a mysterious message in her
logs ("there are logs? what's a log?") and her server won't be useful. We
need to make that simpler somehow, and the simplest approach for now
(by default) is to not have many Named servers. My preferred solution
would be to add an "Unnamed" flag that servers get when they're using a
nickname that is already registered -- the server will continue to be a
fine server, but it will be invisible from the perspective of referring
to servers by nickname.
And lastly, one of the crucial reasons for maintaining contact with server
operators is so they feel appreciated, and so we have an opportunity
to answer their questions, address their concerns and problems, etc.
Maintaining communication with the server community helps it to grow
and be stable. We are doing a poor job at that currently. A few years
ago I realized that I could choose between answering a whole lot
more mail (and having the number of good Tor servers keep going up)
and getting more development work done on Tor. Since Tor is nowhere
close to done, the latter was the clear choice -- as long as there
is *some* sort of Tor network, that's good enough for testing the new
scalability/anonymity/performance features and bugfixes.
Peter Palfrader then stepped up to answer mail for a while, but he
soon found it to be a flood too. My fix at the time was to modify
https://tor.eff.org/docs/tor-doc-server#email to make it clearer that we
may not ever answer the mails. Maybe I should make the statement even
stronger, or just erase 'step four' entirely, until somebody sorts out
proposal 113 and implements and deploys a good solution.
I don't think getting a pile of volunteers to answer the mails is the
right answer -- we should instead a) work to take out the artificial
bottleneck (help appreciated! :), and b) figure out better ways to build
server operator community that don't involve as much manual attention
from me (help appreciated! :).
Thanks,

Seems to me that discussion of bugs/misfeatures/whatever about software that is distributed with tor from the tor web site is very much on topic for a tor email discussion list. Scott Bennett, Comm.

(I used FoxyProxy for a while at a time when SwitchProxy stopped working. But then FoxyProxy came out with a version that didn't work, and I was afraid I might have to go with TorButton. But SwitchProxy returned to the rescue with a newer, working version.:-) These two are both more versatile than TorButton in the sense that they allow you to configure as many different proxies as you like and to switch between them at will. Each proxy can, of course, be configured with addresses that bypass proxies entirely, too. Scott Bennett, Comm.

Warning TorButton 1.1.7-alfa
I upgraded to 1.1.7-alfa yesterday and saw that it is really a crap :( I used to manage my cookies, javacsript and history, MYSELF. Now trobutton wants to do all by itself, and the result is that: 1- My history isn't cleared when I close Firefox, even when this option is selected in the Firefox options. 2- Some websites that use javascript do not work with Tor. It is possible that I TRUST the CONTENT of a website, including scripts, BUT I want to use TOR to hide my IP. With torbutton this is a real hassle now. Will try to go back to an older version if it is still available online :( Torbutton is a GREAT extension but WHY hell does the author want to care of all together??? Maybe he should also include Firefox in the extension, and why not, Windows or a unix distribution??? really BAD now :
