There are options. Provide a free SSH, VPN or proxy. Or for simplicity provide a web based proxy such as hidemyass is using. That's called cgi proxy and I think I've seen free open source implementations. Then allow only a few outgoing sites. You can also allow only Tor users to connect (and show non-Tor users a notice). Be prepared for abuse, you can not know if they user your IP for registration, bomb thread or other kinds of abuse. You can post your suggestion into the Tor trac as well. Don't expect any or fast progress. Before they ever implement such stuff they check for anonymity issues and they require loads of research before they add something. In meanwhile you are probable better of providing the cgi proxy I suggested. But if you ask me, forget about "gmx and others" and use "riseup and others" and GPG or e-mail alternatives. That said, home users are probable a better help for the Tor project if they volunteer a bridge, relay, documentation, translation, code, and so on, see torproject.org volunteer site. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
