Re: [tor-dev] Tor Relays on Whonix Gateway



Interesting... I thought that a Tor client running a relay would actually help its privacy because you can't tell if its a client connection or relay connection...

Should Whonix document/encourage end users to turn clients into relays on their machines?
Probably not:
* it increases the attack surface,
* it makes their IP address public,
* the relays would be of variable quality.

Why not encourage them to run bridge relays instead, if their connection is
fast enough?
