nt more bandwidth available to me. In order to get more bandwidth, I want those who *can* use a 2 hop circuit to do so. This is one of those ideal/practical arguments. Idealistically, Tor would only have 3 hop circuits and those who want "simple circumvention" wouldn't use it. That does

it is free, and because it has certain desirable attributes that other things such as VPNs don't give you. Given that they're going to use Tor, why not minimise the amount of bandwidth they're using in the process of doing so. -- Erilenz *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

you absolutely don't want to do is use a Hidden Service for your VPN as that doubles the number of hops in the circuit. (*) I can't remember how though.

\r\n Host: www.google.com.example.exit\r\n \r\n The problem is that some web servers have multiple websites on the same IP and they decide which website to serve by looking at the HTTP Host header. So you need privoxy/polipo to strip the "example.exit" from the HTTP Host header before forwarding on the actual HTTP request, so it sends this instead: GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n Host: www.google.com\r\n \r\n -- Erilenz
