No longer serve by default as an "Exit node" flag #1174
Comments
Depends on #1066 |
After more thinking and forum discussion I'm now in favor of just adding an "Exit node" flag in the config screen. It's a quick fix and then we can decide later if we go with the "only darknet mode". |
I'll try to get this working in the coming week. |
@rjruigrok Good to hear see the progress on this ticket. @whirm @LipuFei : please review the approach taken by Rob As suggested we should release this soon. When this is done and there are no other pressing open issues (DB upgrade fully done?) we can build an RC1 and start testing a new release! |
By default Tribler acts as an exit node and relay for others.
Numerous users demand that we only enable relaying by default.
The "exit node" functionality should only be enabled when the user explicity configures this in the configuration panel.
An exit node user also needs to be connectable in order to support the hidden seeding functionality.
Provide an informational popup or check the Tribler connectability status and only then enable this exit flag.
Implemented as a simple addition to the introduction-request message. Each anonymous relay tunnel community member advertises with two flags if: they are willing to serve as an exit node and if they are connectable.
UPDATE: We're thinking of disabling the "exit" node functionality. Only offer downloading from hidden seeds in upcoming versions.
UPDATE2: in the upcoming version we can add with minor effort an "Exit node" flag to the introduction-request (plus also a connectability flag). So we don't need the credit mining fully operational for proper seeding and finding seeds.
