     Thanks for point that out on the list.  Everything accepted in my
exit policy is listed in /etc/services as modified to conform to the official
list of allocated TCP ports, except for a few tor-related ports (reject *:9051,
accept *:9001, accept *:9030), and I wasn't aware that the geoip project had
appropriated a port for its own use.  I've now added

ExitPolicy accept 128.213.48.13:1443

to my torrc, and it has just now been published.
