<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=191411522-11022005>It's been a while
since I participated on a mailing list, and I did see a portion of the
discussion regarding Windows servers. Ironically, I joined the list
because I wanted to ask how I could setup a Windows Tor server (based on a
Windows 2003 Server). One thing that may add to the complexity is that the
Tor server may have to be located behind a Microsoft ISA 2004 server (on the
same box). However, certain ports may be opened (my admin said "if you ask
nicely").</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

"unknowns" on that list.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P>It is quite interesting that a majority of Tor connections are ostensibly
from Windows machines, considering that there are so few Windows machines
serving as Tor servers:</P>

<P>Note that Windows machines refer to themselves as "Unknown", so there are
probably eight of them. Closer examination reveals that four of the eight
"Unknown" routers are unresponsive. This suggests to me that perhaps Windows
users are running into the problem observed by spy1 on #tor... and his intuition
that this may be an effective deterrent to the proliferation of Windows Tor
nodes is probably accurate.</P>
