  But as far as I understand, thats only a worry for people running exit nodes? Or?

    You’re correct, but I still am not comfortable taking the chance.

      Just don’t run an exit node? We need more guard and relay nodes anyway. I fail to see the issue.

    Correct. This is one article that goes over a multi-hop VPN that’s sort of relevant regarding how you, as somebody in the middle of this process, would not see what is being relayed even if you’re closer to the end-user.

    (Obviously this isn’t quite as far as Tor goes, but at least it explores the principle.)

      Nice illustration, thanks!

      Also: I often see your name in Lemmy posts/comments, and just wanted to say thanks for contributing so much. You come with very valuable and factual information, as far I’ve seen - and I appreciate that :)

      Have a nice day 🌻
