I don't think a 'series percentage' of relays are in EC2. I would politely ask you to research that and prove me wrong if you feel strongly about it. There might be a serious percentage of bridges, but even that is questionable. (Related: Runa is giving a talk at Defcon on the Diversity of the Tor Network, so hopefully that will be a canonical answer to these sorts of questions once her slides go up in a couple weeks.) Regarding their ability to monitor EC2 - well it depends on what datacenter. The bulk of EC2 is in the Virginia one - and yea the NSA probably has a line on that one or it's upstream ;) But what about the one in Singapore? /shrug -tom _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
