prefer to avoid nested relays #40

whyrusleeping commented 6 years ago

It would be nice to have a way to signal that you really don't want to relay over a relayed connection. I was running an experiment that ended up having several nested relays, and it made things noticeably slower.

Not a high priority, just figured i would file this here for future reference

Could this be done with some sort of a mask feature when doing Announce/NoAnnounce stuff?

@whyrusleeping you inadvertently created a poor man's Tor circuit 🙃
