[tor-relays] my IP got blocked

[Patrice]

That‘s a good point!
 And that’s something that I can investigate. I can do something. :-)
I will look up all my divices and I hope I will find some pests.

Kind regards
Kalle

> If you're not running an exit, check the devices on your network. One of them may have malware. I don't believe this block is a tor-specific block, it seems like actual malicious traffic needs to happen before it triggers.
