Why would they increase the threat profile of an IP in any way at all? An exit node, sure, but a relay? What possible threat could a relay pose?

- fragfester 10y agoAgreed it was a mistake on my part, I'll fix it up shortly to include only exit nodes.
- phyzome 10y agoThanks, I really appreciate it. Due to a similar IP reputation service, I couldn't pay my taxes from home this year, just because I had run a non-exit Tor relay recently. It's a big problem. ETA: I'd also strongly recommend not marking an IP address specially in any way just for having a non-exit relay -- from what I've seen, the clients of IP reputation vendors also don't understand the distinction, so they block both kinds if told about both kinds. It's an attractive nuisance.

- icelancer 10y agoDoesn't really matter - it happens. I'm not specifically talking about the OP's service but rather another third party list that was purchased by other companies. My IP was banned. Whether it should have been or not is up for debate, but I can tell you I was confused for a week straight when I was getting cryptic Hulu/Netflix/Bank/etc error messages.
