So ... if I've got a 5 or 10 mbps exit node with a healthy list of connections, can I use lynx locally to browse anonymously ?I suspect that latencies would strongly differentiate your traffic from regular tor exit node traffic. Also, while you may have a decent amount of tor bandwidth, how much of that bandwidth can actually be used by an individual tor user? Individual tor users going through at least 2 other nodes before yours may still be severely BW limited before reaching your exit node. If your traffic is not so BW limited, it will likely stand out again.
Ok, I'd like to address both cases...There's really no way they could see latency unless they had compromised the system itself. I'm speaking of logging on locally to the tor node itself and using a console based application, so only I would see the latency ...
As for the speed, that may be the case, but I don't think it's _necessarily_ the case. That is, it might look interesting that particular connections were high bandwidth, but is there anything implied literally in the code that would preclude that ?
