Hello,
Can anyone comment on the pros and cons of running a separate client-only 'tor' instance for local browsing while maintaining an independent instance configure as a relay?
My thought is that if high-resource adversary exploits/subverts the relay code and inserts a trojan/parasite, they would be in a position to monitor unencrypted traffic on the SOCKS port.
Is the probability of exploit significantly reduced for instances that do not accept relay connections? If so then keeping local browsing in a non-relay client would seem to be more secure since I understand that remote relays see only encrypted traffic.
Thanks

Hello starlight,
You're not using mailing lists properly. The right way to do it is to send your mail and wait. Not to resend variations of your mail to the same list and other lists when you don't get an answer quickly enough.
I encourage you to use some of the more interactive support mechanisms, like IRC, if you're impatient with how mailing lists work. https://www.torproject.org/about/contact#irc

My apologies on posting too aggressively.
I didn't notice tor-relays@ until today so thought perhaps I was not reaching the appropriate audience. The folks on tor-talk@ seem concerned with big-picture issues more than the nuts-and-bolts variety.
Not in a hurry for answers as it seems to be going well. The relay has graduated to begin a guard, rather faster than expected.
Regards
