Been a fencesitter on this since posting the note about recording traffic that helped send this thread over the top. For once, I'm in agreement with Scott :) (and others) Badexiting based on exit policy seems rather silly as it will prevent nothing. And because of that, doing so is security

Simply because every good thing needs checks, balances and feedback. Thus spoke Msr. Bennett: The tor project until very lately has always promoted end user understanding and responsibility. Now the project *appears* to be undergoing a major philosophical change toward nannying the tor user

Thanks, Roger! I appreciate the clarification... if there is an effort to write a relay operator's manual I'd contribute to that. I've had a series of questions like this that could be answered by something less intense than having to look at the C/specs but more detailed than the current manual.

Thus spake grarpamp (grarp...@gmail.com): Exit policy is currently at the operator's pleasure, need and design. If exit policy mandates will help solve some Tor scalability or attack vector issues, in a substantive way, from an engineering standpoint, fine. But please, don't claim it makes
