Proposal: NEWNYM buckets
I've commonly seen exits (or paths) reused within a certain period of time after issuing a NEWNYM. For the users that have such a need, it would be nice if Tor could optionally keep a historical bucket of configurable entry length (whether based upon time and/or number of prior nodes/paths used). Such that any such nodes or paths would not be reused so long as they remained in the bucket according to its expiry rules. And as an aside, to the extent it is not already done, different ports on the same host should not necessarily be aggregated over the same circuits. I'd wager that they should not, so as to appear separate to the observer. Mostly for efficiency. Think of checking/writing multiple email accounts on the same provider... via IMAP/POP/HTTP/SMTP... without exposing too much relatedness due to using the same exit for all at once. Thanks for any consideration of this where merited. *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
Re: Tor & Email?
Wish mail could multiply thread replies. Here are combined thoughts on the related 'Tor & Email?' and 'Tor and google groups' threads... >> Maybe you should start up a gmail activation service! Or at least for >> us here in the group! How many accounts will gmail and the other online entities allow under one number? Do they crosscheck country/region to number and are you willing to risk loss of every underlying account if so or for other 'related link' reasons. Given that, how many of you would be willing to drop cash in the mail to provide anon support for the fractional cost of the phone/SIM? The only real issue is the cost, oversubscription rate and account linking. Not the anonymity of the physical mobile SIM holder. >> able to enter the account and ... Amongst anons there would surely be some honor in this. >> Though I could open an account at gmail (with SMS) >> Belarus and an Azeri exit node and SMS verification was required >> tried to creat gmail-accounts with Netherlands and German exits In general, when you all are testing whatever service it might be, and especially since you are already picking the node, please be sure to state the node fingerprint so others can confirm. Particularly upon success. Andrew, I recall you said you were recently (the only one of two of us) able to create a Gmail account via Tor but did not know your exit. Do you remember whether or not you supplied a 'secondary' email address to them? And what domain/service it was? People should mention the fingerprint and use of any such mail domain/service when testing. As in my tests of 2010/12/29. As well as whether they used the 'broken' .exit notation or MAPADDRESS, what was MAPADDRESS'ed, etc. > I then tried again with a German exit, and had no problems. Jon, really? Do you recall the fingerprint and any recovery domain? And no captcha seems very strange. And Germany would give you @googlemail, not @gmail right? >> I am using Privoxy Privoxy alters a whole bunch more stuff than polipo. I can see where it would cause undue problems. I do ad blocking with MAPADDRESS so polipo is fine. >> As explained to me in Belgium, the law says they have to see an ID Many laws and policies say only to check, not record or some other such scheme. Many folks feel the need to go above and beyond what is written even though it serves them no particular benefit and adds to their cost, and in fact risk, of doing business. Bad will be bad, good will be good. That's why many have no problem with anonymity, because it doesn't affect that regard. Anti-anons seem to be really about profiling for profiling's sake, or slowing the normal course of historical change so that they may continue to reap the current state before naturally dying of old age. *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

The log command is duplicated in the torrc and in the command starting Tor, as are a couple of other options. I'll remove the duplicates.

"The software will also be made available for people to install on routers they have bought themselves, Appelbaum says." hopefully this version will work specially with ATA specially the ones with builtin routers. *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
