Hi Maarten (and others who answered back),

I got a few more mail exchange with them. I tried to educate a bit and it seems they agreed (not explicitly) that the right to privacy is something that should not be removed to people due to the illegal actions of a few others. They told me to be forced by law, as a service provider, to do their best to reduce this kind of illegal traffic.

I told them I will reject targeted IPs seen in more than one complain. In my opinion, that's an appropriate tradeoff. Right now, it seems that I will not get banned :-)

I appreciate the help,

Florentin

Hi Florentin,

Read the policy of your hoster.
I had the same situation and already configured a reduced exit policy.
So I just changed my exit policy. Now I do not relay to their entire IP
block on port 80 anymore. So it can't happen again......

My hoster was fine with that.
Along with this I sent an explenation that I am not the only Exit node
and how to easily block all exit nodes. (The default text from the tor
project website)

I had the luck that the employee agreed that Tor's value to society
makes the abuse acceptable.

Hi list,

I am running Kadoc[0] for a few weeks and got today a more aggressive
complain from a System Administrator of my VPS provider. I seek for an
appropriate response to not get banned. Does someone experienced a
similar scenario and succeeded to educate the sys admins ? Here's the
complain:

/"It is running a Tor Exit, hence producing a false positive." is not a
valid reason.//
//You are the one responsible for the traffic generated on/trough your
server, so you should make sure that no similar traffic will appear in
future. Illegal actions are strictly prohibited in our network/servers.//
//Please take immediate actions to stop this kind of activity./

I am almost sure that trying to argument that I am not responsible for
the traffic generated through my Exit is not the right angle with such
guy. Any ideas ?

Best,

Florentin Rochet
