Roger,
God bless you for updating tor.
I have a question. I noticed in some code that it said if tor is
running on a win32 system, to disable signals. So even if I sent
signals like sighup to the process, it wouldn't be listening. Is this
true?
Also, what kind of damage does it do to the tor network for a node to
just instantly disappear without notifying the network?
Regards,
Arrakistor
