[tor-relays] Huge harrassment by Irdeto and IP-Echelon, 83 mails, in 2 weeks, need your help
Hello everybody,
My 2 exit nodes servers are ArachnideFR35 and ArachnideFR35v2, with respective observed bandwidth of approximately 100Mb/s and 30 Mb/s (12 200 KB/s and 3800 kB/s). They are momentarily down since I have decided today to put them down while I will be trying to solve this enormous Irdeto/IP-Echelon problem.
I want to keep my servers alive but I realize that it will not be possible if harassment doesn't stop quickly. My ISP is just transmitting to me a huge amount of abuse complaints every day (and never makes any comment) but they are too many and the incredible patience of my ISP cannot be unlimited. And all this, despite of the fact that my reverse DNS are set, since the first day, to http://digi00277.torproxy-readme-arachnide-fr-35.fr and http://digi00433.torproxy-readme-arachnide-fr-35.fr with the Tor Exit Notice on port 80. And it is this address that appears into the Tor Relay lists.
I have decided to temporarily shut down my servers today (November 13, 2013, 14:50 UTC) while I'm trying to solve this enormous Irdeto/IP-Echelon problem, and to send a mail to my ISP to tell them that I will try to fix this problem before to restart my servers.
Since August 18, 2013, the two machines that I'm running as Tor Relays are full exit nodes (reject *:25, *:26, *:27, accept *:*) (before it, since May 2013, they was only Relays nodes) because I was thininking that : if there is abuse complaints, I will be able to face them. I'm not the only one in this case (accept *:*), But as I see in this mailing-list it seems that the amount of abuse complaint I'm receiving is completely abnormal.
My service provider is Digicube.fr, it's a really little company that doesn't seems to be able of handle everything in time. I not sure if there was no abuse complaints before end of October, but if there was, I never seen them.
I have tried everything: by mail or by the Web Interface that figures in the mails, with all these arguments:
- Since 08/18/2013, 95.130.10.70 and 95.130.9.89 are dedicated high speed Tor Exit Router, they do not host or share anything, they are just international network routers with empty hard disk drives.
- All reports you sent about these permanent IP Addresses (95.130.10.70 and 95.130.9.89) for several weeks are wrong: the IP Address that appears into your reports is the IP Address of the router, not the user.
- These routers and his responsible are NOT infringing any copyright. Neither technically nor legally.
- You got to understand that the goal of such a network is a way much fair goal than movies on the Internet.
In March 2011, the Tor Project was awarded the Free Software Foundation's 2010 Award for Projects of Social Benefit on the following grounds: "Using free software, Tor has enabled roughly 36 million people around the world to experience freedom of access and expression on the Internet while keeping them in control of their privacy and anonymity. Its network has proved pivotal in dissident movements in both Iran and more recently Egypt."
But for both Irdeto and IP-Echelon, they don't care, and every day, the harassment procedure continues. I think they don't read my emails, I hope they can receive them; I never had any answers from them. I told them that if there is no answer, I will not have any reason to keep watching their emails... may be I need to ask my ISP to put a spam-filter about that, but I think that such a proposal have no chance to be welcome into an abuse service !
Don't be horrified: here is, below, the list of all abuse complaints I've received from them. You will understand why I love my ISP, and why I need to quickly find a solution!
The olders ones are from October, 29 2013.

I wanted to die when my fingers have typed this sentence :
/etc/init.d/tor stop
And watching my server slowly going down... :(
I understood that a solution is to put a restricted exit policy, and only enable people to browse the web and nothing else, but before to do this and become something like "quarter of an exit node" (I'm kidding but you see what I mean ^^) I want to know if the amount of abuse complaint from Irdeto and IP-Echelon are normal with a full exit policy, or if I have a chance to make them stop while keep operating full exit nodes.
Thank you in advance, Arachnide needs your help !
Best regards,
Julien ROBIN
PS : I will be at work the entire day tomorrow, sorry if I don't answer before tomorrow evening.
