Re: Is "gatereloaded" a Bad Exit?

[Damian Johnson <atagar1@xxxxxxxxx>]

There's no point in putting relays flagged as BadExit into your torrc
since your client will already avoid them. However, if you want a
listing of the bad exits then it's available at:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/badRelays

As for the previous discussion of if plaintext-only exits warrant the
flag, here's my bit to add to the discussion:

We already filter exit nodes based on suspicion by defaulting
ExcludeSingleHopRelays to true (the reason for that being that single
hop exits are more likely to be passively monitoring data). We also
invalidated the trotsky relays without proof of malicious intent (a
suspected sybil attack when over seven hundred identical relays
appeared out of the blue). I'm a little in favor of flagging
plaintext-only exits, though I agree that it sucks when flagging
doesn't have a smoking gun.

Cheers! -Damian
