I doubt that diplomatic immunity forces<br /> ISPs to serve them. Private routing is possible, of course, but is<br /> probably too expensive for most.<br /></blockquote> <br /> Whatever their budgetary considerations,
embassies and consulates afford<br /> diplomatic safe spaces for Tor nodes.<br /></blockquote><br />At best, they provide a *legal* safe space, but it would only take an<br />embassy having their local internet access terminated once or twice<br />before they'd re-consider, absent any agreements which block service<br />providers from doing such. I'd be surprise if such exist, although, it's<br />certainly possible.<br /><br />Assuming we're talking exit nodes, anyway.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><hr /><br />tor-relays mailing list<br />tor-relays@lists.torproject.org<br /><a href="https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays">https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays</a><br /></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
