Setting country code?
Is there a way to set Tor so that you only use a specific country for what would appear as your IP address if you checked your IP address at, say, myIPaddress.com? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Visualization: Tor nodes on Google Maps and Google Earth
Hi, I wrote a small ugly Python script to visualize Tor relays on Google Maps and Google Earth. You can see the result here: * Open KML file in Google Maps: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http:%2F%2Fwww.torservers.net%2Fmisc%2Ftormap%2Ftormap.kml * Download tormap.kml for Google Earth http://www.torservers.net/misc/tormap/tormap.kml The KML standard is being pushed by Google and should work for OpenStreetMap, too, but I couldn't get it to load there. Feel free to modify the script to generate other outputs. The initial idea was to scale the marker size to show the relay's bandwidth, but Google Maps does not support this. The markers might give a false impression of accuracy. Most IPs can only be tracked to city level (or even region), ie. the markers are somewhat near, not necessarily at the real location of the relay. You can download the script here: http://www.torservers.net/misc/tormap/tormap.py (LGPL) This is a one-time snapshot and I will not update it regularly, unless there is public interest to do so. The bandwidth categories are based on the reported observed bandwidth at the time of creation, so the actual number of high bandwidth nodes will fluctuate every time the script is run. It would be nice to extend this script to use longer-term bandwidth calculation like TorStatus does, and to generate a map over time using all the consensus data provided at http://archive.torproject.org/. An example of what this could look like is Vis4Net's Wikileaks Mirror World Map at http://labs.vis4.net/wikileaks/mirrors/ .

My concern is that I don't trust particular exit or entry nodes especially if they're in a certain country. I've read that a country's intelligence service might even be running the exit nodes. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
torstatus IPv6
Hi, according my Apache log files the ratio between IPv6 and IPv4 access to torstatus.blutmagie.de is about 1:100. Domestic as well as foreign government agencies do not appear very much IPv6 enabled. regards Olaf *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
