 Oli> If you don't offer a Tor hidden service, I cannot connect to your node's
(non  existent) .onion address.

i never said or indicated that i did run such a service... perhaps your
statment was too loose or general? or perhaps i misread it? :shrug:


 Oli> Blocking incoming connections from Tor exit nodes doesn't prevent a
hidden  service from working.

no one said it did ;)

blocking incoming from such also blocks outgoing to such, though... my
perimeter firewall does an exceptional job of performing that task :)


 Oli> I don't recommend unencrypted binkp connections over Tor exit nodes.

why not? binkp connections carry state secrets? somehow i don't think so...
