Correct? That's another very interesting point that you are highlighting!
To make an OnionFlare stuff to work, we'd need to have a "Tor2web mode" that work in the opposite side of the circuit, when you have a Tor HS but you don't need location anonymity feature. Facebook would much likely need the very same feature, because Facebook does not need the 3-hops on their side because they don't need location anonymity. I don't know if there's already a ticket about it on Tor's trac, but maybe it's worth doing it. It could be always a feature part of Tor2web mode so that, when it's enabled, it just remove TorHS anonymity in both side (Client-side and TorHS side)? -- Fabio Pietrosanti (naif) HERMES - Center for Transparency and Digital Human Rights http://logioshermes.org - https://globaleaks.org - https://tor2web.org - https://ahmia.fi _______________________________________________ Tor2web-talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.globaleaks.org/mailman/listinfo/tor2web-talk
