[tor-relays] Research project - comparing abuse complaints on Tor exits to those of regular ISPs

[Robin Kjeld]

I started running a small Exit Node (nostromo) from a VPS (Pulse Servers), with the ReducedExitPolicy but after a few days got a "Abuse complaint" regarding SSH sessions. Apparently, there was alot of SSH connections and they were scanning for vunerable/misconfigured SSH connections. And, a note from the Tech Support stating that they "didn't allow SSH on the exit nodes". 

So, I changed SSH to be Rejected. And it's been working fine since then. So, it's basically the ReducedExitPolicy but without SSH.

cool, I'm about to move a relay to exit node, I'm a bit scared do.
Do you run the "standard" [1] restricted exit policy? do you run an even more
reduced exit policy? could you shared it?

thanks!
