I have had several issues that appeared whilst running a Tor network.
This has happened to me too even though I switched mine (relay) off several weeks agoâ
I have notified BBC (via supplied contact forms 3 times) and have had no resolve
Other services affected have been nhs.uk & lovefilm.com although since switching my relay off these now work again.

My supplier is Virgin Media and I have spent *hours* on tech help support.
Nobody can answer this.
My dynamic WAN IP (assigned via DHCP) never changes and Iâve been told it "canât & wonât ever changeââ.
Itâs been the same IP address for years...

This isn't strictly true. If you are using a 'Super Hub' (Combined cable modem / router for those of you outside the UK) in modem mode with another router, if you change the MAC on the router and reboot the Super Hub, you will get a new IP. Obviously, this requires you swap your router, or have a router capable of changing it's MAC address...

Therefore if anybody wants to monitor or divert my traffic they can.

Who provides your service?

Thanks,
Paul
