I rented a dedicated server to run a tor relay (100Mbit/s) to contribute to the network. On this machine, tor gives messages like these on startup:
http status 400 ("Authdir is rejecting routers in this range.") response from dirserver '<...>'. Please correct.
The server is hosted with https://fdcservers.net/.
Did I just get unlucky in picking a provider? Is there a way to check these things before spending money on setup + monthly fees?
Yeah, 50.7/16 and 204.45/16 were where the Sybil relays came from: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-security-advisory-relay-early-traffic-c...
We were rejecting all relays from these subnets for a while. But then I removed that config from moria1 and asked some of the other directory authority operators to re-allow them too, since the attacking relays are long gone. Looks like not enough of them have done so. I'll ask them again.
