[tor-talk] FW: [Wikitech-l] Tor relay

[Derric Atzrott]

Hey,

Just wanted to pass this on to everyone.  This is great news.
It's not as great news as if they had decided to take the
route Facebook took and run a hidden service, or if the English
Wikipedia community decided to allow editing for Tor users, but
it is still fantastic news to hear.

Thank you,
Derric Atzrott

Hi,

This is just a quick update that as of late October, WMF is officially
hosting a Tor relay:
https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/DB19E709C9EDB903F75F2E6CA95C84D637B62A02

This is not an exit node, and it's just a small contribution to the
network. Really - anyone can do it: https://www.eff.org/torchallenge/

We want to note that editing via Tor is a whole other matter, and I
would refer to previous conversations on this list if you have questions
about the current state of things. We also currently have no plans to
run an exit node or a hidden service, but we're open to suggestions for
additional ways in which WMF can support anonymity and privacy.

Sincerely,
Faidon
