Tor Flash Proxies, VPS provider opinions?
Something new, tor related, flash proxies, but no Adobe Flash is involved.

Embed an iFrame in your website, serve as a tor bridge. Not as a outgoing relay.
I've set this up over at https://raymii.org (see the little blue bagde on the page).
How do providers feel about this? Since most of them do not allow tor exits?

Oh, OH, and I always thought Tor was about user privacy...
I would say don't ever do it on shared hosting, if you wanted to put the badge on a website you host on your own VPS then I suppose it is not the end of the world however personally showing that badge is like saying.... "the traffic you are looking for is here" to some agencies so my point of view is probably not a great idea.
From what I understand, this is no different than an entry node or bridge that can be hidden as the network only publicizes the exit and relay nodes in full.
It will not have high traffic as only a few ppl will use it, if any, and any given time, publicizing it will defeat the pupose as the censors will be able to automatically block them.
While Iran will soon isolate from Internet, China cannot afford this as they dont live from oil. So, if this picks up, the censors will have a problem with it.
Also, I hope that IPv6 will also help with the multitude of IPs and random hopping of the bridge.
Nononono, don't let anyone fool ya, Tor is NOTHING but warez, terrorism and of course child pornography.
I think you put it wrong. First and foremost it is about child pornography because terrorism and warez charges dont impress anyone today, the only thing ppl dont bother to check if true is CP, just throw a few invented statistics about 90% or so and everyone will believe without checking.
Warez are on torrents all over and all ppl defending their country are considered terrorists by one side or the other.
@Maounique are you talking about my 90% again? My assumption bothers you that much. Problem with the stat is no one can really prove me wrong. You know 90% of stats are just made up.
It is so easy to prove wrong for everyone that cares to check. 30 k out of 100 k requests came from Iran when someone made a statistic some 2 years ago and some 10 k from china, maybe those guys are into child porn that much, but somehow i dont believe it, you are free to believe whatever the government and the church throws at you to justify raids and shrinking the loophole that is the first amendment.
@Maounique give me the proof. Give me the story. Would love to read it. Would love to be proved wrong.
please.
just.
shut.
up.
already!

I dont have the "analisys" from your fox channel or local church tho, i would love to see those too, somhow I doubt that even those would claim things like 90%, would lose any leftover of credibility they have, this is why the acusations are launched on a general basis.
If I am understanding the concept correctly, the bridge is running on the client side, not the server side.
EDIT: Think the idea of web/mobile LOIC, but non-malicious.
