They obviously don't know what they're doing since they "aren't checking the reject policy" on your non-exit relay. Hopefully they'll sort it out. Netflix had the same thing for a while.

Hi, I just want to share my recent time experience with Vodafone Italia (mobile carrier). Some days ago, for the first time, I was surfing Vodafone.it site from my home network where I run a Tor non-exit relay, and when I surfed "https://ricarica.vodafone.it/" I've got the following error page:
Access denied (403)
Active policy for this site prohibits access from TOR Network.
For further information, do not hesitate to contact us.

I wrote to reblaze.com, I've explained that I'm running a non-exit relay and that even if Vodafone is saying that traffic from Tor (they say TOR -__- ) Network, no traffic from Tor network can reach the public network (and so their site) from my own relay. This was my email:
Hi, today I've received the attached error when trying to pay on Vodafone Italia site and I want to point out that it is a false positive. The error is "Active policy for this site prohibits access from Tor Network." and I was surfing the web directly from my public IP address X.X.X.X. As you can see on ExoneraTor this IP address also hosts a Tor <<middle>> relay: https://exonerator.torproject.org/?ip=X.X.X.X×tamp=2016-11-24 If you gave a close look to that Tor Relay, you can see that it is DEFINITELY NOT A TOR EXIT RELAY, so you/Vodafone can't receive any traffic from Tor Network from my relay, since it is only a transit Tor relay: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/xxxxxxx (Exit policy is reject, so it is not an Exit relay). So, I understand that you want to block sessions coming from Tor network, but you should definitely get a list of Tor exit relays only, not the full list of Tor relays that includes Tor relays that will NEVER send traffic from Tor network to public network. I'd like to understand why you're blocking sessions coming from an IP address that hosts a non-exit relay.And this is their reply:
Hi currently this web site policy is to block any IP that is identified as TOR Relay: "Looking up IP address X.X.X.X on or within one day of 2016-11-24. Tor clients could have selected this or these Tor relays to build circuits." we are not checking the "Reject Policy" we will check the issue with the web site administrators Thanks Reblaze Support .I think I won't receive any further info from Vodafone, BTW if they reply, I'll share their answer with you.
Have a nice weekend, Fr33d0m4all
