Anonymity nodes on Comcast? Chilly8 01-17-08

I thought running any kind of public server was verboten on Comcast.
I use an anonymity service, so I can listen to Pandora and Clear Channel
online radio stations, from outside the U.S. (they have blocked them to
non-U.S.listeners), and when I was listening a while ago, I found that the
anonymity service was bouncing me off a Comcast residential account
in Pleasant Hill, Ca. I thought that even running anonymity nodes in
Tor or HideMyRealIP would be against the rules. Services like Tor,
HideMyRealIP, and a few others, are P2P, so you never know where
the "exit node" is going to be, and I just happened to be routed
through a node running on a Comcast residential account in
Pleasant Hill, California.

Just because it's against the rules doesn't mean it's impossible.

And no provider--comcast included--has the manpower to chase down
every single TOS violation.
