You'll want to secure them or you'll need to trust anyone else on the same subnet doesn't snoop. You could introduce another layer of encryption using SSH to provide security. As far as using the process for browsing--do you trust the other systems on the subnet not to snoop on encrypted traffic. This will influence the cipher strength used--and did that extra layer of encryption gain you anything besides installation complexity? Regarding using the tor relay as a client you might find the following to be interesting reads. http://freehaven.net/anonbib/cache/clog-the-queue.pdf http://freehaven.net/anonbib/cache/torta05.pdf http://freehaven.net/anonbib/cache/back01.pdf -- leeroy -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
