It sounds to me like you shouldn't be on the Internet. This attitude is ignorant of reality, real security, and the ethics of the Internet. What are the ethics of the Internet? There are none. It is not a single place or group. You are the one taking the risk of being exposed to things you don't like. Be it port scans, denial of service attacks, language you dislike, ideas, fraud, or other malice. There is only one general law that you will find applies everywhere in the world and that is treason. Your view offends me. I however will not suggest you be denied access to the Internet. That is what I agreed to by sending and accepting packets. You are welcome to participate in the Tor network-or not. That is up to you. You also accept whatever risks there are to running a Tor node. I for one will not stop running a node just because someone port scans me. It is up to me to protect my systems. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
