#29989: Add a flag to set chosen_exit_optional to false for MapAddress torrc option (and controller?) -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: babyfarkmcgeezaxxon | Owner: (none) Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: | unspecified Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Tor: | 0.3.5.8 Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: security-low?, tor-client, tor-exit | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: 1 Reviewer: | Sponsor: -------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Comment (by babyfarkmcgeezaxxon): >We'll need to see your tor logs to work out what's going on here. Which logs do you need and where are they located? > The most likely explanations are: > * you have an unreliable network connection, Nope. Not sure why that would even come up given the detailed explanation I provided above. > * ayefiles.com blocks many tor exits, or > * many tor exits block ayefiles.com. These don't make sense either. As I explained, I connected to ayefiles, rotated the connection and wrote down three exit nodes that were actually reported as being used. I then set those same exit nodes (via fingerprint) as MapAddress targets (sequentially in time, not at the same time) and they failed. So they were obviously not blocked by ayefiles since I was connected to ayefiles using those exit nodes. However, setting them manually, then prevents any connection. So as I said above, something is allowing those exit nodes when ayefiles picks them, but not when I pick them. How is that OK? Can we stop it? Also, why would using one those nodes, which are listed as official exit nodes, block duckduckgo connections? Are people who run exit nodes free to block any websites they want, even useful and innocuous ones like duckduckduckgo? Why? Seems like you need to upgrade your terms of service (or whatever agreement they explicitly or implicitly adopt to run an exit node) to prevent these games. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/29989#comment:4> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
