Dear all,
I read a discussion about "How can Tor use a one hop circuit to a directory server during initial bootstrap?" here
However, why I cannot find "TunnelDirConns 0|1" in torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en? Is the feature already removed or replaced with another name?
Next, may I ask that as Weasel mentioned
in his answer for the question: "This so-called tunneled connection
doesn't provide anonymity. It only provides confidentiality, i.e. nobody
listening on your network can know exactly what you fetched" However,
in Tor directory Protocol 3, there is a sentence "all directory
information is uploaded and downloaded with HTTP" which means no
encryption for what we fetch, so where is the "confidentiality"?
Best Regard.
