As Andrea said, the exit policies are there mostly to have a small knob to stop complaints. In that sense, participation as a hidden service is "opt-in": You're willing to lose the ability to use IP address as a rough method of identifying users. A network provider should in an ideal world _never_ [be able to] interfere with any of the traffic they transport. I already feel very uncomfortable limiting "arbitrary" destinations based on IP and port. A network provider is a neutral channel. Remember, data payload is just protocol overhead. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/ _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
