Without going into any detail at this point I'm wondering if others, running a simple middle relay, have encountered any governmental harassment as a direct result of running a relay. The blocking of state agencies e.g, CA.SDI.gov, CA.DMV.gov?
Are you running a relay on your home network connection? That is discouraged for a whole bunch of reasons, one of which is that several "this IP is a source of spam" blacklists indiscriminately list _all_ Tor relays, whether or not they are exit nodes. This in turn causes random websites to block non-Tor access from the same address. California's government website maintainers are probably subscribing to one of those blacklists, and that's probably out of ignorance rather than malice (the blacklists in question bill themselves as "more comprehensive" than others).
zw Yes this is a middle relay, on a home network, I've been running for approximately 1.5 years with no issues. Since this is a middle relay and find I have no reason to "hide" my intentions there hasn't been an issue in my mind regarding running a relay on my home network. _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
