Title: Exclude Exit Nodes from a circuit
|

Implemented-In: 0.2.1.3-alpha

|
|
Overview
|
|
|
|
Right now, Tor users can manually exclude a node from all positions
|
|
in their circuits created using the directive ExcludeNodes.
|
|
This proposal makes this exclusion less restrictive, allowing users to
|
|
exclude a node only from the exit part of a circuit.
|
|
|
|
Motivation
|
|
|
|
This feature would Help the integration into vidalia (tor exit
|
|
branch) or other tools, of features to exclude a country for exit
|
|
without reducing circuits possibilities, and privacy. This feature
|
|
could help people from a country were many sites are blocked to
|
|
exclude this country for browsing, giving them a more stable
|
|
navigation. It could also add the possibility for the user to
|
|
exclude a currently used exit node.
|
|
|
|
Implementation
|
|
|
|
ExcludeExitNodes is similar to ExcludeNodes except it's only
|
|
the exit node which is excluded for circuit build.
|
|
|
|
Tor doesn't warn if node from this list is not an exit node.
|
|
|
|
Security implications:
|
|
|
|
Open also possibilities for a future user bad exit reporting
|
|
|
|
Risks:
|
|
|
|
Use of this option can make users partitionable under certain attack
|
|
assumptions. However, ExitNodes already creates this possibility,
|
|
so there isn't much increased risk in ExcludeExitNodes.
|
|
|
|
We should still encourage people who exclude an exit node because
|
|
of bad behavior to report it instead of just adding it to their
|
|
ExcludeExit list. It would be unfortunate if we didn't find out
|
|
about broken exits because of this option. This issue can probably
|
|
be addressed sufficiently with documentation.
