> I don't think this is a good idea, because:
> 1. you give more work to bwauths
Yes, this is true. Although installing a caching / recursive resolver
takes about 5 minutes.
> 2. sbws relay on one more external thing
sbws already relies on the system DNS resolver, which is sometimes
unreliable.
Installing a caching or recursive resolver makes DNS more reliable.
> 3. sbws traffic is fingerprintable, but dns queries will go in most
cases in clear
sbws already relies on the system DNS resolver, which sends DNS queries in
the clear.
> 4. if using a CDN, the ip that that the bwauth server gets will be
different that the one the exit will see, so checking if we can exit with
a relay with that ip, doesn't make sense
We already talked about the CDN issue in:
