>To say it a little better, "It’s important to remember that exit relays can see the original data sent by the client, since they have to pass that data to the destination. This means that, if credentials are passed over HTTP, FTP, or other cleartext protocols, the exit relays can sniff the traffic!"
That says it. I said they can see your data, lol.
>Exit node is not for tor to clearnet though... It is for It is for all traffic.
There is no exit node on clearnet, its all open. The term exit node has mostly or only been used to mean tor --> clearnet that I have seen.
>Vpns cannot see all your traffic though. Only clearnet data coming through an exit node.
Oh, that is an interesting revelation. Can you verify it in some way? What would stop them from seeing it since it goes through them before being encrypted? I have often wondered about that myself since it could be encrypted before it leaves your computer but I strongly suspect they can see it. Again you say exit node, what do you mean by that?
>Also vpns are flawed in how you sign up originally. If you connect yourself at all to it then it's not anonymous.
You can connect to them via a proxy including tor unless they block it when you sign up. I would agree they know your original ip. Not sure exactly what you mean here. This is an interesting conversation, might lead to insights.
