Hi all, i checked 1161 nodes in total. 269 of them where responsive exit-nodes, all behaving correctly. 9 exitnodes where responsive, but their had some proxy installed which didn't behave quite correct when you accessed a webpage with the notation original.url.$nodename.exit; the error-messages varied from "could not resolve" (looks like a DNS-leak to me) over "502 Bad Gateway" through "502 Proxy Error". However, in my list of exit-nodes i couldn't find any host which showed the described behaviour. My test-URL was http://www.linux-magazine.com/. So there is still some space left for discussion: Did i miss the "bad" or "banned" exitnode? I tend to agree with Claude; at the moment it doesn't seem likely that we have some sort of bad exitnodes in place. However we probably should think if we should install some kind of early warning system. I could imagine something like this: Every client checks once per day some random website on the internet via, let's say, 10 random exit-nodes and compares the results. If something is wrong the exitnode could be signalled to a real human which could verify the claim. How do you think about that? Cheers, Alex. -- "I am tired of all this sort of thing called science here...
