Comment Will there ever be a choice of number of hops? (Score 1) 61
It is my understanding that the number of hops within the Tor network is normally a fixed value, somewhere around 3. Given the potential for compromise of entrance/exit nodes in various countries, perhaps allowing a larger number of hops or even a randomly determined number of hops between two values might give more probability of not being detected. Could you comment on the number of hops chosen and how they relate to the probability of anonymity in the Tor network assuming all other suggested configurations have been realized.
