Hey fellow relay operators,
While searching for a solution to a problem I've been having I learned that my IP has been blocked from accessing discussions.apple.com. The message that I get is the same message I get whenever I attempt to access a website known to block IP addresses operating Tor relays. I am running a non-exit relay, which I'm assuming is the reason I'm now blocked from access the site.
Has anybody else run into this problem and, if so, have you been able to get your IP address unblocked by Apple? If you have managed to get your IP unblocked what steps did you take? Unfortunately due to my work I am in a position where I have to access Apple's discussion forums from time to time.
Thanks,
Christopher Burg

Don't run a relay from your own IP address. Pretty standard advice there sorry regardless if it's an exit or non-exit. I guess the people at Apple simply downloaded every Tor server IP and put no effort into reading the differences between types of relay because to be fair, they aren't paid to give a damn as long as it stops problems.
You could pop an email off to their customer support, but honestly I wouldn't get your hopes up with Apple.

I found the same thing when I ran a middle relay on my home connection. Hulu and Best Buy outright blocked me. I ended up having to switch to a bridge relay and wait for my IP to change.
