There is a moral problem to know that the service you are running as an exit, for the sake of the mythical T-shirt, internet freedom and lack of censorship, is being abused to such an extent. I increased my exit speed from 2.5mbs to 5mbs and rose up the exit rankings such that abuse emails went from one every two months to 2-3 a day. ÂSome serious, many were automated crap where I wanted to tell the wimps to get a grip and welcome to the internet. When tapped on the shoulder by the ISP which is pointing out obvious abuse and attacks coming from my exit IP, itâs not enough to shrug my shoulders and claim overall good of TOR. All I can do is block the offended IP address after the event (without consent). I can do that in TORRC. ÂIf I can do that why is it reprehensible in TOR lore to attempt something more subtle and pre-emptive? Of course much internet traffic is repugnant, but Tor attracts a higher proportion. Tor is being strangled by the abuse. It is the login and other attacks on servers that could be blocked of hindered. ÂTor is getting a bad press and law makers respond impetuously to make bad laws making matters worse.  Gerry  From: tor-relays [mailto:tor-relays-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jonathan Baker-Bates In the past when I've tried thinking about this it has been too fraught with moral hazard for me. Morally, Tor is about keeping private communications private, in the hope that more good than bad will come of it. On 12 Jun 2016 8:40 p.m., "Dr Gerard Bulger" <gerard@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
