[tor-relays] Re: Self hosting bridge at home - de-anonymization risk?

[DocGerry via tor-relays <tor-relays@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would worry about my IP address at home ending up on a blacklist, even
with a bridge.  Google and Microsoft have hidden blacklists with secret
criteria to be listed there, and to get off them once listed is a
long-winded pain.   You only know  there is an issue when emails won't
arrive at gmail or Microsoft managed accounts and some web pages won't load.

WebTunnel  https bridges seems safe and so far and my three had not ended up
on blacklists on my VPS servers.   I think because they are still a minority
sport and have not been found by the blacklisting pedants.

Sorry bjewrn2a,

I'm not aware of any paper about my approach. It just makes sense to me, and
apparently to other people in this thread. Hopefully somebody from the Tor
Olympus will tackle the subject one day.

Bye, Marco
