Hi nusenu,

I am sorry for taking so long to reply.

I understand the safety guidelines. I am currently doing preliminary research using my relay nodes. I would like to share my research if my research goes to the next step.

I am interested in the anonymity of Tor hidden service.There are several studies that use machine learning to identify the destination of traffic measured on the Tor network. I am currently conducting verification experiments of the method described in the papers.

The research is proceeded with careful consideration of the privacy of the Tor network users. Measured traffic is used to create data sets, but it does not contain information that can be used to break the anonymity of end-to-end communication. All my nodes are listed in the "family" of server descriptors, so people can completely exclude my nodes from their circuit paths if necessary.

Best regards,

researcher_2o17
