Re: [tor-talk] Disabled Torbirdy itself Leaks DNS
It seems new Torbirdy 0.1.1 has just solved this specific problem. :) great work, THANKS.

[tor-talk] VOIP over Tor
I found that this is a very old idea: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2006-May/thread.html#13379 But why for 6 years no one is interested? I continue my experiments with VOIP over Tor and tried another old abandoned software SpeakFreely by changing it's protocol as RTP over TCP. It has found practical use and looks good: http://sourceforge.net/p/advtor/discussion/programs/thread/9d735faa Now I have an idea of using two or three hidden services on different ports instead of one. Caller simultaneously connects to them and duplicate packets to each channel. The first delivered package is used, other are discarded. Also collects statistics and every few minutes the slowest connection will closed and reestablished. This should reduce the average latency. There are questions: - Will Tors of caller and calee use the same or new nodes for building circuit after the close and immediate reestablish of connection with HS? - How will this affect the safety of connection against possible deanonymizing attacks? > ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
[tor-talk] Tor Volunteer Research Help
Hi, I am a master's student in comp science at UIC (Univ. of Illinois at Chicago) planning to do a thesis on comp networks with/without anonymity online. I came across the volunteer research topics page (https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/volunteer.html.en#Research). The topics that interest me are a,b, f, g, i, j and l. I have about an year of school left within which I need to complete this. I need some direction here as to where to start? Is it a good idea to go ahead with those ideas for a thesis, given the time I have? Are there others working on the same? And if I do plan to do it, what are the tools required and papers to read? Thanks, Venkat ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

Because most VOIP is UDP, and Tor doesn't support UDP. See https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2013-January/027183.html for current progress.

By the way, why do you have to communicate from hidden service to hidden service? Wouldn't it suffice if the callee would act as server and the caller as client? ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

Re: [tor-talk] VOIP over Tor
Hi, I have researched VoIP over TOR, I use openVPN to communicate voip client with tor network. I test with default tor - 3 nodes and modify tor with 2 nodes. With 3 TOR nodes, from 100 call, only 21 call which have acceptable quality call, whereas with 2 tor nodes, i got 36 acceptable quality call. We should concern with recomendation for real time voice communication. ITU G 114 recomendation, maximum latency should be less than 400 ms. Others recommendation are jitter (less than 30 ms) and packet loss ( less than 5 %). I did test only for nodes in european.
