I was unable to reach the site, is it still in operation?

Hello Teor, not sure how this other thread answers my question. Rather the question raised goes in the same direction as mine. "I worry about blindly following a list of rejected subnets. I won't argue that it's not safer for the exit operator, but I hope someone's cross-checking and confirming each entry is needed." Who is behind tornull ? And how are they validating their negative list ? It might help some relays on difficult providers like Digital Ocean but in the end it is a censorship which makes part of the internet unavailabe to tor users. best regards Dirk On 01.05.2017 05:06, teor wrote:

Dear all,

I was made aware of the Tor Null Advisory BL [1] which is also mentioned in trac here [2]. Block Botnets does not seem like a bad idea in principal.

But the page has no listing of a responsible person neither any criteria listed which it chooses to identify "bad" IPs. Looking at some of the links I found 1 which had a date from 2011 [3]. As will I miss information an when and how often it is updated.

Therefore it looks slightly suspicious to me. And it surely has an abuse potential.

Does anyone have more information on the background or recommendations here ?

best regards

Dirk
