It can hit people who use all versions of Windows, but by far doesn't hit most of them. So it is in fact false that this is specifically a bug with support for win2k, and rather it's a general bug that we're hoping to solve. We've had some help from someone experiencing the issue, but details are still a bit in the dark. Hopefully we'll have a patch out soon.

[tor-talk] Run Tor as a bridge in the Amazon Cloud
Hi everyone, The Tor Cloud project gives you a user-friendly way of deploying bridges to help users access an uncensored Internet. By setting up a bridge, you donate bandwidth to the Tor network and help improve the safety and speed at which users can access the Internet. Setting up a Tor bridge on Amazon EC2 is simple and will only take you a couple of minutes. The images have been configured with automatic package updates and port forwarding, so you do not have to worry about Tor not working or the server not getting security updates. To help new customers get started in the cloud, Amazon is introducing a free usage tier. The Tor Cloud images are all micro instances, and new customers will be able to run a free micro instance for a whole year. See https://cloud.torproject.org/ for more info, and let me know if you have any questions. -- Runa A.

If you want to run several relays to donate more to the network, we're happy with that. But please don't run more than a few dozen on the same network, since part of the goal of the Tor network is dispersal and diversity." I'm curious to know if 'MyFamily' is properly set on these instances, or if Tor plans to bucket all instances within EC2 as part of the same family? Assuming this is a non-issue... looks very awesome! ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
Re: [tor-talk] New Browser Bundle

Unless you've told torbutton to preserve some cookies, they're wiped. Point of symantics: Not the correct word - "wiped." They are simply insecurely deleted, just like deleting any other file from windows explorer. "Wiped" implies securely erased. I know you know the difference, but don't want new users to think Tor / TBB securely erases data it deletes. More later on a way I thought of to securely del * ALL * TBB data after a session. ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

A bridge should not specify the ‘MyFamily’ option. You won't run a middle relay or an exit relay in the cloud, so this shouldn't be an issue. -- Runa A.
