But the problem is, the gopher community's so small that you'd only get a very small number exit/entry nodes. A high level of exit/entry nodes (to my understanding) essential to any Tor-style anonymity network. Or would this 'piggyback' (my term) on the tor network? I can't really get how you're planning on doing it, but from the wording I'd presume the former (an individual tor-like network). --------------010208020907090800030904 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> <title></title> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> On 14/05/2012 20:03, Cameron Kaiser wrote:<br> <span style="white-space: pre;">>> A bit like building a ultra-secure house and then leaving the door<br> >> open while you go shopping.<br> ><br> > Well, what about a Gopher-only Tor (Gor?) that has some entry nodes and<br> > some exit nodes?
