<div>Hello,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am sorry you feel attacked. Feel free to take whatever action your require. Let's start with the actual issue, you did not outline any actual abuse complaint. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please detail your issues, and I will explain to you how to block Tor traffic and specifically my IP addresses since you feel the source is Quintex.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Until you send me a valid abuse complaint with actionable information, there is nothing further I can do to assist you.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>John</div>

You've chosen to block the network that <span style="color:red">199.249.224.41</span> is part of. We've marked the networks we found that this IP address belongs to in red below. Make sure you read all the WHOIS information so that you see all networks this
IP belongs to. We recommend blocking the network with the lowest number of addresses. You may find this is listed at the end as part of the 'rWHOIS' query which contacts the local WHOIS server that is run by the network administrator.
