Re: [tor-relays] Complaint being on a tor dnsbl..

[Larry Brandt <lbrandt@xxxxxxx>]

Companies such as DirecTV blacklist all Tor relays.  This is very disconcerting when I go to their site to get help with my television feed.  In their defense (and this hurts), their Genie system uses some of the ports that Tor uses for ORPorts such as 9001.

Nothing.
There are DNS blacklists for TOR nodes. For some wild reason they're called blacklists, but they just indicate that a particular IP runs a node/relay/bridge. Some idiots even ban IPs in these blacklists even if it's not an exit.

Just explain this to your hoster and forget about it.

Hey guys,

Today I got a complaint from my vServer hoster that has received an abuse email The company who accused the usage of my system is called sectoor http://www.sectoor.de/tor

Here's the abuse message:

More Information About Sectoor

Listing on the Sectoor TOR DNSBL indicates that this IP address is a tor
node or a subnet (/24) containing a tor node. This listing *does not*
indicate that your IP address has been blacklisted by Sectoor, as this
list also contains subnets that contain a tor node. The subnet listing
is not designed to block connections, but rather for use as a scoring
mechanism. Your IP will only be blacklisted if it is the tor node itself
and listed by Sectoor Exitnodes.

Sectoor TOR DNSBL lists every IP address which is known to run a tor
server and allow their clients to connect to one of the following ports:

* Port 25
* Port 194
* Port 465
* Port 587
* Port 994
* Port 6657
* Ports 6660-6670
* Port 6697
* Ports 7000-7005
* Port 7070
* Ports 8000-8004
* Port 9000
* Port 9001
* Port 9998
* Port 9999

More information about SECTOOR can be found at their website:
http://www.sectoor.de/tor.php

*Reason for listing - **TOR Server Network detected (TOR Node on ip
xxxxxxxxxxx) - see http://www.sectoor.de/tor.php for more information.*

What would you reply on that accusation?
I tried to convey that this isn't true and that this company only tries to alienate me as a customer cause there also running vServer offers.
For now I reject using these ports..:-(

Regards
