Re: [tor-relays] Configuring a Tor relay to *not* accept torrent traffic

[Konstantinos Asimakis <inshame@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can't exactly filter torrent traffic since Tor filters are port based and bittorrent can run on any port. The closest thing to what you seek would be to block all ports other than 80 and 443 (which are for web traffic). This will definitelly make your exit node a little less useful to the network and still if someone uses one of this ports to bittorrent you will be in the same situation. Of course would be very rare.

Also check out this:Â https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/ReducedExitPolicyÂ

Cheers.

Hi there, :-)

I am running a Tor relay on a VPS.

How do I configure it to NOT accept torrent traffic?

I have just received an abuse report from my hosting company.

All the best,

Redrover
