Another thing is filtering on bittorrent. The tor site suggests a filter: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/BlockingBittorrentJust because it is in the community wiki, it is not something you should do, or an official Tor recommendation. I would advise heavily against anything that blocks connections outside of the official ExitPolicy statements. Clients will become unreliable, and have no way of knowing what happened to their connection. The quoted snippet blocks connections to trackers, but not torrenting itself. One of the most popular sites, ThePirateBay, does not even rely on trackers any more. Apart from that, blocking trackers will also hurt legal torrenting. ...
Oh! I too use the filter as in "BlockingBittorrent". I did not want to restrict my relay to the "ReducedExitPolicy". Almost all complaints were Bittorrent related. So I hoped "BlockingBittorent" would be the right ting to do.- should the "BlockingBittorrent" recipe be changed in a way, that it changes
the exit policy of the relay instead of the firewall?
- How to block torrents from ThePirateBay anyway?
- Is there a way to block any bittorrent traffic?
