Re: [tor-relays] So long and thanks for all the abuse complaints

[Tom van der Woerdt <info@xxxxxxx>]

Hi James,

Have you considered running a super restrictive exit policy? I had the
same trouble you have, with EFF's restrictive exit policy. So I wrote my
own, which also blocks port 80:

ExitPolicy accept *:443
ExitPolicy accept *:6667
ExitPolicy accept *:7000
ExitPolicy accept *:5222
ExitPolicy accept *:5223
ExitPolicy accept *:110
ExitPolicy accept *:143
ExitPolicy accept *:220
ExitPolicy accept *:993
ExitPolicy accept *:995
ExitPolicy accept *:9418
ExitPolicy accept *:53
ExitPolicy reject *:*

Now I deal with maybe 1 complaint per quarter. And since 443 is still in
there, it's still contributing substantially to the network (maybe more
so than with port 80 enabled).

Consider giving it a try ;-)

Tom
