Tor traffic, to appease Hetzner. For more than a year (and counting) I have responded to each of these "abuse" reports by stating in the feedback form that this is routine Tor traffic, not abuse. This was accepted by Hetzner every time.
OK, thanks for sharing that. This gives me hope that I might get the same reaction from Hetzner too.
be certain that no actual abuse happens. Also, Hetzner is not trying to be obnoxious, they only aim to protect their reputation.
Yes, of course, and I wasn't suggesting that Hetzner was being obnoxious. But while their reports may be sent out automatically, maybe a human being will need to read and acknowledge all the statements that users then sent back. But yeah, maybe I worry too much and I think I'll remove these netblocks again on my end. Thanks, Christian. -- BOFH excuse #453: Spider infestation in warm case parts
