For example, I downloaded Tor network and using it for illegal activities. Can my govt track me? Can US govt track me? I know it encrypts something but if I remember correct, FBI was able to find some Tor users before.
Note: illegal activities was for example. I’m not going to do anything illegal. I’m just planning to serve my instance with a onion address.
Sybill*, but yeah those are some nasty attacks. Perhaps introducing relay proof of work could counter them?
the evil monitoring relays are actually relaying, so they are doing the work, they are just also taking notes.
I know, I meant using PoW in a sign-up scheme, or something. Currently, The Tor Project takes down malicious relays based on what the community reports, which is eh; but it works.
