A sample session goes like this:
- The user starts a connector and a Tor client. The connector sends its address to the facilitator, so that a proxy will know where to connect to. (We call this step "rendezvous.")
- A flash proxy appears in a browser and asks the facilitator for an address.
- The facilitator sends a remembered client address to the proxy.
- The proxy connects to the client address. The client's connector receives the connection.
- The proxy connects to a Tor relay, then begins copying data between its two sockets.
Where is the list of all facilitators?
There is only one (not that there couldn't be more), and its address is hardcoded into the proxy badge.
I think I am confused about something: Why is it difficult for the censor to enumerate, and then block, the facilitators?
