If your aim is to open an client-less "in-proxy" to Tor network for anyone to use, then you might just as well open your SOCKS 5 port to the world. AFAIK any insecurity in SOCKS is related only to authentication, i.e. unauthorized users may be able to connect to your SOCKS proxy. But that's not an issue if you open it to anyone "by design" anyway. -- With respect, Roman
