Best, Neel Chauhan === Links: [1] - https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec/-/merge_requests/42 [2] - https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40448
Hi Neel,Please add a "MOTIVATION" section and explain in detail why is this needed for the network/heath team and how will it improve things? Also include in the "MOTIVATION" section the following:
- Why not play with the Exit/Guard to achieve the same goal, why not possible? what is the goal -- we need to know the goal to further discuss this.
- It's something at Directory Authority Level only? So the client / relay operator has no decision whatsoever for this flag? What are the tie breakers or based on what is this assigned?
- How will this work in a wonderful feature I am dreaming of where all the relays are Exits and maybe we make walking onions working?
P.S. Rendezvous point is NOT a less powerful position (at least from an onion service server/operator point of view), unless you are using vanguards plugin by Mike with rendguard component activated. Because it's always chosen by the client connecting to the onion service, and we should assume the client is always ~LE~ evil. Trust me on this :)
