Comment(by proper):

 Replying to [comment:15 arma]:
 > The problem is that we'd prevent people behind a Torified network from
 running their own Tor client. At the same time we tell them that if they
 really want to be secure, they should run their own Tor client. I think
 our advice is correct.

 Alternative solution:
 Advice users behind transparently torified networks to use bridges. This
 should be a sensible workaround?

 The Tor exit does not have the list of all bridges and can therefore not
 block reentry into the Tor network. And the Tor user is supposed not have
 large quantities of bridges.
