Re: [tor-relays] Simplifying ExoneraTor

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that this is not an exact science and there's no clearly right way to say that a relay is an exit or not. We should pick a definition that's plausible to mere mortals, and that could be:

a) whether the relay has the Exit flag, b) whether the relay permitted exiting to "web ports" 80 or 443, c) whether the relay permitted exiting to any port at all, etc.

I think a) is better than b). But do you think c) would be even better than that?

From the perspective of someone investigating abuse, I think it's important that 'not an exit relay' means 'not capable of exiting on any port at all'. Ergo I think your option c) is the way to go. Regards, Geoff
