what if its Monero?

If I’m understanding this right, it would require every router to effectively be a proxy

EXACTLY

They’d still be able to setup a surveillance network inside of ISPs to watch the exchange from A -> B -> C

It will be super hard as the packets are not easily uniquely identifiable, and basically impossible if multiple countries are involved. It’s the same like trying to take down/block Tor.

what if someone is using Tor to hack your services? Then you will be blocking Tor exit IP,therebty also censoring Tor users.

Overlay networks like Tor has another problem too, you will have to trust the network nodes, and someone can just run a lot of nodes to control a big portion of the network, or can just deny acces to the network.

maybe not today or tomorrow, but having an idea floating around helps people consider it in the far future if an architectural change becomes necessary

This is a concept, frankly I don’t think our govts or corpos will have any interest in this 😂 but we need to think privacy at a network level

what if web3 is anonymous overlay networks like Tor hidden services? It a completely new concept to internet itself, and if directly implemented on hardware it will be true Web3
