What if someone inside a totalitarian state is attempting to upload evidence of a massacre to a service which runs on port 80?
Yeah, I did think of this but I thought I'd put it out there anyway. Unfortunately, too many sites/services don't use SSL. Well, it's a no-no.
That's changing, not fast enough, but the NSA did a great job of raising awareness (even if they *can* crack it)...
I'd love to get the bandwidth back from the 16 year olds downloading movies and terrible porn over Tor, too, but this won't fly, and y'all are gonna get flamed into cinders in about 5... 4... 3... for the types of reasons I just mentioned above.
So would I, hence my looking at this to try and knock such 16 year olds off of the network. :) However, yourself and Lunar make good points especially concerning the legal position over traffic redirection and/or manipulation.
Well, plus, there are ethical questions about managing the traffic itself, and the fact that if tampering is detected, you'll get a BadExit flag. It's mostly ethical questions, IMO.
So what's the answer? Education? Educating torrent users to not use Tor isn't going to work - if they know enough to use Tor (thanks Azureus, NOT) - then they're gonna use it, so that's pretty much out.
Education does help - I've crashed many a thread suggesting Tor for BitTorrent and explained why it's harmful. I mean, I guess I don't have any metrics to back me up, but a lot of the people seem to say "oh, jeez, well in that case maybe I won't."
Publication of sample exit policies? Would that encourage exit node operators to run restricted exit policies, and save themselves loads of bandwidth and DMCA headache?
That's been done, but a link in the default torrc above those config areas would be *great*.
