So, I thought I'd mention that I can do tor now.

Oli has been using it for the last x months (2-3, dont recall), and it seems to
be working well (and its hands off from my point of view).

So if anybody wants a feed via tor, let me know.

Oli, can you share your config?

That would be good to offer at all the HUBs ... perhaps once we solve any issues with SSL (which may or may not be a problem right now) we can look to set this up also... I'd need to be guided by both you and Oli for that.

I'm not sure hoe long exactly, but at least since December; maybe for longer.

There are a couple of ways to do it. First you need the Tor daemon running in the background (or on another machine) and then you have to convince your mailer to connect over the Tor socks5 proxy. I'm using a simple perl plugin for
binkd. You can also set the proxy for all connections or -pipe it through netcat or ncat. If someone is really interested, I'm happy to help.

Btw, can binkit (or mystic) use a socks5 proxy?

I just followed these instructions:

https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-onion-service.html.en

Basically you have to install and start the Tor daemon/service (not the Tor browser) and then add two lines to the torrc config file, redirecting from port
24554 to 127.0.0.1:24554 (or the address/port where your binkp mailer is running). The onion address will be generated automatically.

Can we introduce an IBNO flag to the nodelist? "O" for overlay network.

IBNO:<crypticaddress>.<onion|i2p|...>:[port]
