That's a very vague question. Suppose I'm using Tor to hide my current IP address, since I don't want people to know that I'm actually posting something from a secret hideout in Paraguay. I still post my full name and telephone number, so everyone knows that I made the post, and they can find out where I usually live by using reverse lookup on the number, but my rivals at Foocorp never manage to associate me with the hideout. Have I been caught? You can attach arbitrarily complicated semantics to the idea of identity and what it means to have been revealed in this context, so you'll need to be much clearer than that to get any reasonable answer out. Even then, I doubt the data are easy to get reliably, unless perhaps there's been a case of someone being tracked down while using Tor that was reported in major broadcast media. If the NSA were keeping tabs on Tor users somehow, it'd be very hard to find out. --- Drake Wilson Here are some very usefull links: Passive income using Google AdSense Personal developement Blogging Make money online My Interests - Shape Yahoo! in your own image.

Re: Directory servers for a subset of Tor routers
Can i configure TOR to use it with some code so i can choose which exit node i
want? Something like this:
TOR_exit_nodes[10];
for( i=0; i10; i++ )
{
retrieve_webpage( URL, TOR_exit_nodes[ i ] );
}
This code should rotate 10 TOR_exit_nodes to retrieve some webpages with PHP or
JavaScript.

don't want to make you own version of tor (a bad idea to begin with)
you could run an authoritative dir server and then just block
connections to certain countries. Just make sure you configure your
server NOT to advertise that information to other directories.

Hi,
Question, is it possible to set up private directory servers and
make available only a portion of the available Tor routers? For
example, if you only wanted to make routers that were online in the
U.K. or France available to users who got their info from these dir
servers, can that be done?
I know you can set entry and exit nodes but this only addresses
part of the question and is too static for this example. I've seen
some info on Blossom but don't know if that will do it either. If
it can't be done or there are other problems, does anyone have any
other ideas or suggestions?
Thanks...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Comrade - so blocking connections from other
countries...is
that something that is built into Tor or would I need a 3rd party
solution? I think i already saw how to prevent the dir server from
advertising itself to the rest of the Tor network in the man pages
(yeah, really wouldn't want to screw anyone else up) but not so
sure on the geographical part.
Thanks again...

Re: using or-talk
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello. I'm new in your or-talk mailing list and I have subscribed as i would want to find out how can I make TOR to change automaticaly the exit node every time I navigate to a new page. For example, if i navigate 3 pages that link one to each other in this manner: A to B and B to C, i would want that page A to be loaded through exit-node-1, page B through exit-node-2 and page C through exit-node-3. Is this possible. I've read that the exit-node changes if the connection stays the same for a very long time for security reasons. Maybe if i could configure that time to refresh the exit-node option... say it instead after 5 minutes of inactivity to after 1 second. I also want to say that english is not my first language, so i might not made me understood and i want to ask you politely to be patiente with me.
