The server on question was in this guy's house. He should be able to find something if it was compromised, and if not, he can easily backup his relay and wipe his hard drive. On Apr 7, 2016 6:48 PM, "Markus Koch" wrote: > The issue is: How do you know a exit server is

The issue is: How do you know a exit server is compromised? As a CCNP I can configure a SPAN Port in 30 seconds and suck all the exit traffic out of it without any indication for the server owner. Even if he visit his server in the data center and no one visit their servers :/ 2016-04-08 1:42

In my opinion, Tor should update the "fast" flag as well. 100KBytes/s isn't very fast by today's standards. On 04/07/2016 01:39 PM, Roger Dingledine wrote: On Thu, Apr 07, 2016 at 08:21:55PM +0200, Michael Armbruster wrote: To be a relay, your bandwidth has to be at least 250KB/s. [2] [2]
