Thus spake Shawn K. Quinn (skquinn@speakeasy.net) [06/09/05 09:22]: : > TOR can only contact other entry/mid/exit nodes on the ports they're : > listening on. The documentation actually requests that people set up nodes : > on TCP ports 80 and 443, for the exact case that this Houston, TX library : > seems to be in. : : The bigger problem is convincing the library's computer to run your : software without getting caught. Even then, there's no guarantee that : the computers have direct Internet access; it's likely everything is : funneled through proxies. Generally speaking, it's not terribly difficult to convince a library computer to run your software. Especially if there's anything from MS Office installed. And whether or not it's funneled through proxies doesn't matter one bit: you're submitted a valid HTTP request to a valid HTTP port. There's no reason the proxy would reject your request. At this point, I think I'll put my money where my mouth is, and try running a TOR node (client only) at my local library. See what happens.
