#22How do they detect the use of a proxy though? That's what I don't understand. Tor's exit nodes are not broadcast, or are they?
The list of Exit nodes is publicly accessible. All you have to do is check if any of your IPs are in that list.

Weird, the French part looks like the output of a translator. There are a few faults of vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure. Your translation is correct though.

#24Makes sense. Tor's nature (and its many dodgy uses) will eventually lead to its demise, alas.

#25OVH used to be one of the top host provider. Last year they removed the unmetered bandwidth and now TOR, VPN too ? (it's unclear to me). What's next ? no HTTPS, European traffic only ? seriously this sadden me, lucky for us Online.net is a good challenger.
They just removed their traffic limits a few days ago.

I did not downvote but instead invite you to elaborate. Why will Tor cause its own demise?
Not to mention annoyance for the user... there will be sites you can't access since many sites block exit node IPs outright because of abuse.
If some random does something illegal and they happen to be using your node, guess who gets the knock on the door?
With that in mind, what user would want to operate an exit node?

#27Here's a related link just 5 days ago. Server host OVH warns of 'multi-stage' hacking attack. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/23/top_server_host_ovh_...

I'm not complaining, nor have I seen better.

Operating as an exit node exposes you to a great deal of legal issues, if not liability.
