"Man in the middle" is an attack where you impersonate server A to server B, and server B to server A. "Middleman" is a possible tor configuration that relays traffic. These are technical terms with specific meanings; please don't make users think that they are about to launch a hostile impersonation attack when they're just going to run a server! > c) server (donate bandwidth & IP address, use tor by default) How about "client" "middleman server" and "exit server"? These are the terms that Tor uses, after all. yrs, -- Nick Mathewson
