Re: [tor-relays] BBC and UK Lottery blocking ip addresses running Tor

Dan Hanley:

Looks like the BBC have changed their rules. I am still running a relay, but can now access www.bbc.co.uk in a normal fashion.

Still blocked by national lottery, but I'm hopeful that they both use the same third party ip checker, and that the next lottery update will fix the issue.

Progress!

I cried a little inside when I read, "We have asked our provider to give us a way of differentiating Tor exit nodes from non-exit relays, to allow us to block exit nodes only."

Ugh.

Did you have trouble reaching www.bbc.co.uk as well as iPlayer? That would be strange. I haven't seen them block Tor relays & exits simply getting to www.bbc.co.uk.
