[tor-relays] Webiron at it again...

[Juuso Lapinlampi]

Bruteforce attacks generate a lot of traffic, so Webiron gets an excuse
to blame the Tor network as a major source of abuse versus "regular"
traffic.

We received this too. Quite oddly though, after sending them 6 or 7
email acknowledgements that our Tor exit IP-address is a Tor exit (duh),
they have stopped sending us abuse complaints. Maybe we got a free pass
after all, although I didn't request one.

And yeah, Webiron's not to be taken very seriously.[1] I've lost their
credibility a long time ago when they exclaimed that Tor exit operators
would be held legally liable for the routed traffic - of course not.
It's called fear mongering.
