Not your fault - not talking about your service specifically! My IP was banned by several other companies (I assume from a list that was purchased from a third party) like Hulu/Netflix because I was simply relaying non-exit traffic.
TOR and people who speak for the service often say that it's safe to run a non-exit relay. It isn't. It's tracked and punished. I know from first-hand experience.
- javajosh 10y agoDoes Tor use it's own port? If so, how hard would it be to switch it to use something like 80, 23, or even 8080?
- aianus 10y agoThe IP of a Tor relay is publicly distributed, that's how other nodes know to connect to it. You can see for yourself: https://atlas.torproject.org https://atlas.torproject.org
- phaedrix 10y agoAlthough at a guess, most of these services probably do the simplest thing possible and go by an open port.
- driverdan 10y agoI've been running Tor relays from home for about a year. Only sites I've found to block me are Monoprice and Apple's support forums. Hulu and Netflix are fine.
