We're all very sorry to hear about your hassles. I hope the authorities realize there is nothing they can find and that issue is resolved quickly. Thank you for being an exit node and running a server. > (This, BTW, is exactly why I run my node as middleman-only; it's just > too risky for a home

Re: PSI patch anti dns-leaking

Thanks for working on this! The DNS leak issue seems to be a major problem for the project. My only concern is that there is a reason the Tor developers haven't found a solution yet or decided not to tie it into Tor itself. Does any developer [Tor or not] want to comment on this patch? Maybe so

Good to see some updates on the xb browser. I don't know if it's appropriate for this discussion and I'm just assuming that you have some affiliation with xerobank but do you know what the status of the xerobank project/company is? On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 5:26 PM, Arrakis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote

that is the problem? My up link has too much on its plate to handle the download request traffic? I'll read over the other posts this week and do some more testing. Thanks again! Rochester TOR Admin running server torroc01

How do I volunteer? #6 Improvements on our active browser configuration tester

Re: Tor and Firefox 3

Yes, XeroBank's Browser is based on Tor [it used to be called TorPark] but it also uses their own XeroBank network which is a privatized anonymity network. Instead of locking down a browser with a plugin like TorButton does, the xB Browser is an attempt to lock down the entire browser. There's no

Re: Smallest cheapest device to run a tor home server?

Maybe someone else has found a better answer but when I researched this I found that although dd-wrt can run tor, there aren't any updated pre-built packages so you will most likely have to compile your own. Check out the archives for some help: http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Sep-2006/msg00389.h

I'm having a hard time understanding a lot of what you're saying but I think I understand the goal which is specifically to root out terrorists in this case to help investigators find terrorists. You can refer to Roger's link above as to why Tor will never do that. > > 2) Or about a system which

Re: The "de-Tor-iorate Anonymity" talk by Nathan Evans at DEFCON 16

I'll comment on that but I know Roger and others were there that might be able to explain it better. The idea is that Tor _used to_ allow a user to define an infinite path when creating circuits so an attacker could generate circular circuits causing the queue on those circuits to go up, using up

Interesting ideas but a few thoughts come to mind that don't look adequately answered in the paper (that I've read so far): * payments turn it into a service with an expected outcome. Assumably (among others) that is 1) your anonymity is maintained and 2) your payment is completed successfully.
