Request to redact reverse DNS (host name) for my relay

Hello Tor Team, I am running a Tor relay and have noticed that the reverse DNS (host name) of my IP address is publicly shown on metrics.torproject.org. For privacy reasons, I would like to kindly request that the host name be redacted. Relay fingerprint: B8D94C8036FEE5253E32CA3158E916466191C407 Thank you very much for your time and support. Best regards, Gianluca

Ciao Gianluca, Thank you for running a relay — we really appreciate your support! The information published on Tor Metrics is public by design, as it helps ensure transparency and supports research. Even if some details were redacted, similar information can still be discovered using widely available tools. If you're concerned about privacy, we recommend running your relay in an environment where it can't be easily linked to your hostname. Cheers, -hiro
Best regards, Gianluca

Such a request is simply useless, as anybody can query those information from DNS (dig -x <IP>). If you do not want the rDNS name, contact your ISP and tell him to remove it. -- Gruß Marco Send unsolicited bulk mail to 1750696260muell@cartoonies.org
