Re: Request for comments: onion routing design paper



So, I haven't read through the docs or the code or really anything yet, but I do have a tor node running. I have a question about "sessions" with web sites. If I'm using tor as a proxy, should I expect successive requests to the same web site to show up with a variety of IP addresses? This will break some web applications that key off the IP address. The obvious follow-up question is whether there is any reasonable way to make a given web session use the same IP. I've been unable to tell what they dynamics here are, probably because we have too few nodes.

No need for flames about how web applications that use IPs for session keys are broken, I understand the implications.

Thanks, pablos.
