Re: Lists of VPN exit addresses?

I'd imagine it is quite easy for a lot of these providers to have a
pre-configured virtual machine template or cd image that they can deploy
across the board amongst a plethora of different VPS solutions as well.
Being able to bring up exit points on the fly would be very helpful in
bypassing censorship.

Well if they are using Hola then EVERY person with it installed is an

Because as a regular international traveler, that's what springs to
mind
when I see requests like this.

Another thought is governmentally-driven censorship, something else I
encounter a lot in my travels.

I’ll just simplify this and say that the Tor Project publishes a list of
its exit nodes so you can block these if your abuse/fraud requirements
necessitate this.

If it’s for geolocation blocking, I’m in favor of these political
limitations to go away.  It doesn’t take a genius to bypass these if
that’s
your intent.
