And in practice, exit nodes are extremely untrustworthy. I just recently had one providing self-signed certificates for HTTPS. Someone was up to no good.


Self-signed certs for itself or for the endpoint site you were connecting to?


The endpoint site. Then I hit reload and it was gone. SSLStrip probably would have been more effective. But, yeah, I think the people using Tor to provide "security" for an insecure wifi are making a huge mistake.
