Re: more on the Comcast 250 GB/mo. problem

There is absolutely value to running tor residentially - the extra nodes add significantly to the anonymity aspects of Tor. However, it is not true that 1,000 20KB nodes is the same amount of bandwidth to clients as 10 2000KB nodes. The slowest node in a connection is going to define the maximum

Re: Tor design question

As far as I know there's no buffer exploits publicly available for Tor servers. If there were, the Tor team would patch it very quickly. Running a firewall wouldn't hurt, just make sure you aren't interfering with the traffic coming into or out of the Tor network. Ringo William Adams wrote: I
