Also ensure this functionality is available to tor clients via a
torrc option like "ExcludeExitNodes" can be used by tor clients as
well.
The torrc option for clients could be named
"LimitToMiddleOnlyNodes" or similar and takes a list of relay
fingerprints and can appear multiple times in a torrc (like
ExcludeExitNodes).
I don't know if torrc options are supposed to go in Proposal
documents
I agree that the naming of torrc options is not in scope of a proposal,
but the fact that the MiddleOnly path selection constraint feature can
be used by clients without
requiring DirAuth actions probably is.
It makes sense about that. I will send an updated proposal.
I will try to make sure an
"ExcludeMiddleNodes" option (how I would name it) would be included
A name "ExcludedMiddleNodes" would suggest the exact opposite of what
MiddleOnly
actually is for, no? It suggests that the given relays are excluded
from the middle position
but in fact they should be limited to the middle position.
Sorry, my bad.
The ExcludeMiddleNodes did give a good idea for a new feature I already
have a MR for:
* https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40466
* https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/merge_requests/436
It's unrelated to this PR, though, and I don't know if it will go in.
kind regards,

Any time,
