It is possible to do all sorts of things with Tor.<br>
<br>
But running a bridge and a client together lowers your anonymity,<br>
and possibly the anonymity of the bridge users.<br>
(For example, your IP address will be given out to bridge users.)<br>
<br>
And choosing exit nodes makes it easier to link your exit nodes<br>
and your entry nodes, and discover your client.<br>
<br>
Why do you want to do these things?<br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></blockquote></div></div><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks Teor.
