(this directly translates to the help texts in the configuration wizard in a gui environment, which makes most sense to me there, too.) with the wording: my shot is below. .matthias ====================================================================== # Port 80 (HTTP or plain web browsing). This is what most people use # tor for, and is usually the performance bottleneck, so leaving it on # is generally a good idea. Administrators running routers with port on # "accept" have received abuse reports regarding Google Groups, or been # added to the IP blacklist at Wikipedia. If you are told by your web # browser that you have been blocked due to abuse (or if you want to # avoid that happening to you), comment this line out. ExitPolicy accept *:80 # Port 443 (HTTPS or secure web browsing -- most commonly known for # encrypting card data transmissions). This is less likely to be # abused. Often, the client needs to authenticate by some other # means besides her IP address, so the danger of abuse is pretty # low here. ExitPolicy accept *:443
