Whoever connects to the Tor Bridge would be exposing their source IP address, as well as exposing themselves to timing attacks if the Tor Bridge is a hostile node. Bad idea.And lastly, anyone that tells you to pool into any single Tor resource (like a "Silk Road" bridge, lol, what a joke) is either an idiot or a federalie...Saying the same thing with a different account isn't going to convince anyone Sweetheart. Who honestly believes that I am with the Police? I've expressed a certain respect for the work they do keeping innocent people safe in the past but there the extent of my sympathies end - as for having a Tor bridge I was simply trying to find some use for a server I will never need - no one has a gun to your head!V.i'm sure you mean well but at somebody else pointed out i don't think it's offensive to mention that this is a tactic that's been used multiple times by the feds. shadowcrew got pwnt by feds selling them private vpns. some carder.su peeps got pwnt the same way, people on the drug forum dzf got pwnt the same way too. well, dzf was a sting forum set up by the fbi which banned members from viewing the forums though tor, but my point stands. :)I don't mean to blow my own trumpet but anyone who searches for my previous posts will see that my concern overwhelmingly is focused on security, particularly for newer users. The very nature of an offshore jurisdiction precludes such information being shared with law enforcement - there are extremely strict laws setting up a partition between financial service providers and the government - this is something I can talk about at length(!) I really, really don't want to sound like a dick or oversensitive but I like to think I've worked hard on building a reputation for trustworthiness on here - people send me thousands in cash every week after all and I've not shortchanged anyone by so much as a penny. While it may be generally true that Law Enforcement may want to trap users on here, it doesn't have anything to do with the offer I was making, I simply am going to be inheriting a server for which I have no use.After reading OZ's post it would seem that the best solution in terms of privacy is indeed to set up one's own bridge - if this is indeed the case I will attempt to put a guide together for other users on how to do this for themselves. If anyone wants to offer to help, that would be much appreciated.V.
