Daniel,

No. Part of being a Tor Relay is sticking your neck out a bit for those who can't. No one will fault you if you decide to not run a relay.

Relay Issue: I had a relay up and runnng Saturday. I found my relay Atlas but I did not like what I saw on there. It showed my isp number and my dsl provider so I shut down the relay. Is there some adjustment in the "torrc" file to have that not show. And I do not have any access to a Proxy Sever. tks -DB-

I want to learn how many bytes exit relays forwarded. I assume that the write-history that is published in a relay's extra-info document includes bytes that were relayed as part of the exit's guard and middle role? If so, is there a way to learn how many bytes were written by the relay in its exit role only?

I suspect that one could approximate this number by accounting for the probability of all exits being selected as guard, middle, and exit, but I would prefer a simpler and more reliable approach.

This doesn’t seem like a bad approximation to me, given that for as long as I have been aware, exits have had zero probability of being chosen in any position other than the exit position.

The whole idea doesn't sit right with me.

For one, I'm not sure I'd want any more Five Eyes entities running Exit nodes. Most embassies are already a haven for espionage activity. You'd pretty much have to assume they'd be sniffing the exit traffic.

Also, with all the other priorities, I kinda doubt most embassies have any interest in the general work involved, not to mention the liability, of running an Exit.

I doubt Five Eyes countries embassies would bother running tor since they have budgets to easily encrypt and funnel all their traffic back to their home countries.

If anyone would be running tor nodes, I would imagine it would be countries w/ smaller budgets who would be looking for more cost effective ways to make their traffic hard to sniff.
