Hey...just a dumb question by somebody who doesn't write code (anymore...I was HW anyway so never wrote a lot). Why is it necessary for a Tor node to be identifiable by authorities? Is it possible to disguise it as something else? -TD

I might have my (rented, colocated) redgene Tor server, which isn't due to expire before 12 December and has so far been spared by the recent German Tor crackdown been seized by law enforcement as evidence. Then, it might just be down. More as this develops (when I get an answer for my trouble ticket, that is). Needless, to say, there are no logs, and not even any content there at all.
ouch. was it a middle or exit? were tor keys on disk in plaintext?
Exit node. Keys in plaintext. Still no word on the trouble ticket. Either way, the damage is minimal, given that the node is offline, and due to expire by 12 Dec.
