Re: [tor-relays] [tor-talk] Platform diversity in Tor network [was: OpenBSD doc/TUNING]



I'd agree simply because Windows presents a much larger attack surface. The amount of code running on a minimal Unix installation plus Tor is a lot less than a Windows system, especially network facing code.

weaponized and general exploits, and it's less secure than a properly
configured Unix distribution. People running nodes, especially exit
nodes, have a responsibility to their users, and I just don't think
Windows is the best choice in that regard.
