Re: [tor-relays] my IP got blocked



Hi,

It's not the first time I hear about Non-Exit IP blocked (but may be some people here are more familiar with the subject) : I don't really know what are the most used interfaces/websites from which those administrators are getting the list of IP addresses before blocking them (are they downloading the full consensus list like tor clients or from another website ?).
May be websites proposing these lists should split them in 2 distinct 
lists, and normally show only exit nodes unless something very precise 
is asked by the user for seeing all tor relays including non exit. For 
lazy/angry administrators trying to definitely block all Tor IP 
addresses without considering giving any another time or second chance 
it would avoid some of these non exit relays blocked ? Of course ideally 
those administrators are doing some mistake and the problem is coming 
from them more than from anybody else (or may be bad users, too). But 
into the facts, when a mistake is repeatedly done, may be changing some 
things should be considered ? If possible of course (it's not always 
simple or quick).
Best regards,
Julien ROBIN

Hi everyone,


I`ve got an issue with my local IP address. I am running a relay about 1
year and since 3 or 4 weeks I can`t reach some websites like: ebay or ikea.

All I get is this message:

*

*Access Denied*
You don`t have permission to access "Http://www.ebay.com/" on this server.

Reference # ____looong number______


I think I am on some blacklists. After I change my IP address all worked
fine for only 2 days.

Can I do something about this?

Thank you for your help!

Kind regards

If you're running an exit, they probably saw abusive traffic, didn't
like it, and blocked your IP. You could consider not running an exit
relay from home.

If you're running a non-exit, then they're being dumb for blocking your
IP when it is impossible for abusive traffic to come from your relay.
Some webmasters who don't understand Tor do that, but there's not really
anything we can do. Best I can suggest is you try talking to them, which
isn't a very satisfying suggestion, I know.

Matt
