Article awhile back mentioned something about Tor having been taken over by the feds?

Poetic justice -- after all, they invented it. No, they didn't "take it over", they just figured ways to make it less than perfectly secure.

But yeah, they set up a few false exit nodes and played games.

TOR is still pretty solid for most uses people put it to.

Not the feds, and just a Tor node. Previous thread here:

IIRC TOR was invented by the Feds. Or the Navy. Either way....
