I was taking extra precaution by running PeerGuardian and specifically blocking malicious IPs, and will continue to do so while I have a relay node.</blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">If you are using PeerGuardian to filter Tor traffic, that is sub-optimal. The main reason that many people use Tor is precisely that their traffic is filtered, and blocking "malicious IPs". Substituting your judgements for those of their Govt might be an improvement, or not. As Tor has no way of knowing what you will block, traffic via your node will fail, but circuits will continue being created.<br>
