A brief "whois" on the IP 216.243.58.198 reveals that the abuse address is listed as CondoInternet.
Does anybody have experience getting an IP allocation so that the abuse address is listed differently?
I have little experience, but perhaps this is a way out of this problem if condo's problem is the number of abuse complaints and the time it takes them.
It's my understanding that very few (and by very few I don't know or have ever heard of any) who will SWIP (change the abuse contact) an IP for anything under a /28 allocation. If one would SWIP a single IP, it'd probably require a very expensive bandwidth package.
I've thought quite a bit about pooling resources and getting a /28 from a provider, and then assigning those IPs as secondary IPs on cheap VPS providers, and then routing the traffic via encrypted IPSEC/GRE tunnels. But the /28 would have to be advertised in a single location, because people won't do BGP routes for single IPs (or maybe even /28s).
So if the /28 was registered in a datacenter in Chicago, all exit traffic would go to that datacenter (bad) then be shipped to the real Tor node in say Europe (slow), and then do the 3-hop Tor path. So I eventually gave up on that idea.
But my networking kung-fu is not as strong as others, so maybe via multicast or anycasts tricks this could work?
