[tor-relays] Yourserver.se - Your TOR exit node generates too many complaints

[Vinicius]

Hi Josef,

Sorry for the late reply, nice to see you going looking into, why they 
are those provider doing this kinda of "DoS" on VPS that are exits.
I will just change temporarily to middle until i found a new VPS 
provider or an dedicated server that can do SWIP[0] to an /32(one 
already in sight, on my country). This way i think it will reduce a lot 
of hassle to the provider. We could share a dedicated if you want to, 
running muitiple tor's using virtualization, we could share the 
administration using something like tmate.io.
What do you think?

P.s. My mistake, i said they reply my response to their complaint, but 
that did not happend. i just mistaken the provider Hetzner with an 
automated response of an dmarc failure from reichster(at the time, i 
didn't notice, i was kinda hurry). For me its all german :p .
