Hi friends,
I'd like to collect some anecdata about this issue regarding Wikipedia blocking edits from Tor non-exit relays: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24758
If you run a non-exit relay, would you be so kind as to go to wikipedia.org from that IP, click "edit" on any page, and report to me off-list if your relay is blocked or not? In your message, please give me your relay address and let me know if it's ever functioned as an exit
Wikipedia says:
Your IP address is in a range which has been blocked on all wikis.
The block was made by Masti (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given is Open proxy.
Start of block: 18:42, 13 July 2017 Expiration of block: 18:42, 13 July 2018
You can contact Masti to discuss the block. You cannot use the "Email this user" feature unless a valid email address is specified in your account preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. Your current IP address is 2a01:4f8:141:608d::2, and the blocked range is 2A01:4F8:0:0:0:0:0:0/32. Please include all above details in any queries you make.
Interestingly they are blocking the entire /32 which probably means all of Hetzner at least at that site. Which probably means they are not using a tor-specific block list here.)
Unfortunately I don't have a non-tor-node server there to cross-check.
Tor node is 'fastlane'.
