Re: [tor-relays] my IP got blocked

[Patrice <mailinglist@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sadly I run a only a relay therefore this is a troublesome action.
So if more admins do this, I could be in trouble.

After reading all the answers, there seem to be only two solutions:
1. hoping that my IP get unbanned
2. shutdown the relay
(3. surf over a proxy or VPN)

Kind regards
Kalle
