[tor-talk] Article: Best Alternatives to Tor

Mon Sep 22 15:44:32 UTC 2014

Funny article indeed...

But the homework was not so good, he forgot Peersm (!!), and we learn 
that Peerblock is free, but the article forget to mention that the 
blocklists are not free :-), so Peerblock without blocklists is probably 
not very efficient...

And when we look at the blocklists that's not very convincing... I have 
collected during this summer a lot of supposed spies via [1], it seems 
that the total is converging now but still new supposed spies are 
coming, I have to analyze this when I have time, one obvious focus will 
be to understand how well known non spies end up in the blocklist... and 
if all Tor exit nodes (+VPNs) are there.
