Fasttrack for Tor ?
Hallo, I haven't found an Tor-option for faster Tor-connections for someone who owns a Tor-router. Wouldn't this be attractive for (potential) money\router-donors, if they could choose for example one IP with a faster connection (although it seems technically complex since there are different routers involved). [I certainly don't want some kind of premium-access, this would spoil the Tor-idea].

google gears
If one is running a wordpress blog using TOR, will installing Google gears in order to speed up the process compromise anonymity in any way? Will it bypass the proxy settings or anything? *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

Sorry, I was wrong on this; I was thinking about a smaller subset of leaks. -Faraaz *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

Re: google gears
Thus spake M (moeedsa...@gmail.com): If one is running a wordpress blog using TOR, will installing Google gears in order to speed up the process compromise anonymity in any way? Will it bypass the proxy settings or anything? Google Gears has not been fully audited for anonymity, so we don't yet know the specific answer to this, but the outlook isn't good. Gears components can store arbitrary data from websites, and the current Gears implementation does NOT obey private browsing mode in either Firefox or Chrome to conceal gears data. Gears data is also not cleared when you clear private data in either browser. I believe it does use Firefox's network stack, so proxy settings should most likely be obeyed. However, it is possible it can phone home to update its component cache or to ping your gears websites at any time, regardless of your current Tor mode. It is also likely that gears data can be transfered over http as opposed to https, which would mean that any exit node can spoof google gears urls and probe your installation for gears data, which may include authentication information or unique identifiers. Risky business. I would recommend against it unless you're prepared to audit it with wireshark first.

Can you re-run it with: ./start-tor-browser --debug and send me the vidalia-debug-log? I think I know what's causing it to crash, but want to be sure. 2. Which distribution/version of Linux are you using? I need to look into this but I think there may be some differences in how session management is handled between versions of Qt which would cause authentication failures.
