Running a public Tor entry proxy is LEGAL. Tor is a LEGAL anonymity
service, and running an emntry point in the Tor network is LEGAL. That
is ALL that I do. I merely run an public entry point into the Tor
network, that ANYONE can use, by merely changing a couple of proxy
settings. I just merely installed Tor on my server, and configured it
to be a public proxy server. Since Tor is legal, it is LEGAL for me to
set up a public Tor entry proxy on my machine, using the Tor software.
How such a proxy works is that you change your browser proxy settings
to the address of my public Tor entry proxy (and one of numerous
others on the Net), and surf that way. This way, novice users can use
Tor without having to install and configure the software. It is also
meant for people who may be on a public computer (such as in a
library), or a school or work computer, where the machine may be
locked down against installing any software. All one has to do is just
change the browser proxy settings to any one of a handful of Tor entry
proxies all over the world.
Such Tor entry proxies are LEGAL as the Tor network, itself, is LEGAL.
So I am NOT violating ANY laws by running a public entry proxy into
the Tor network. And don't go looking for anything on my machine on
port 8118 (the ususal port number used by Tor). I changed the port
number to a different port number.
Becusae something went haywire in Windows Firewall, and will not allow
any incoming traffic to the Tor network, I am using a Tor entry proxy
being on on by an ISP in New Jresey. I will not say WHICH ISP it is,
but they advertise their proxy right on their Web page. My traffic
goes into the Tor proxy in New Jersey and then goes round and round
through the Onion network, and is randomly spit out another machine on
the other end, most of the time in Europe. This one ISP that is
advertising and running their Tor entry proxy, on their website, is
NOT violating ANY laws by running said Tor entry proxy. |
