DuckDuckGo now operates a Tor exit enclave

Congrats again, Gabriel! I don't use Tor myself (atm, at least), but I admire your efforts to help address this concern for people. DDG is impressing me more and more every day. It's been the default in my search bar for a couple weeks now, working great. Here's to the future of DDG!

That's great, too bad I can't run this for my own sites because a bunch of idiot network admins (like those running IRC servers) will ban all traffic from Tor exit nodes <i>without</i> taking into account exit policies.

Do people actually use Tor, day to day?

How much bandwidth will you allocate to tor?

Although this is great that duckduckgo is doing this it seems like it would only apply to a select group of people concerned about their privacy. It doesn't seem like the average person would be aware about what Tor is and would use it. I'm just wondering about the practicality of operating a Tor exit enclave.

this is really a great service. caution: I've read many horror stories about people running exit nodes, and being charged with things that probably they had nothing to do with , but are very serious charges. Thats why exit nodes take the most balls to run.

Next submission: DuckDuckGo raided for child porn...<p>(unfortunately)

I really don't understand the strategy here. DDG Seems to be entirely targeted towards people who want to be ultra secretive about what they're searching for. People looking for kiddieporn? Terrorists? Who are the users here?<p>I'm not being negative here, I just have no idea what 'problem' is trying to be solved here.
