[tor-relays] AS awareness

[Tobias Sachs]

Hey folks!

How about trying it with /8 and if that fails falling back to /16. 

Is it possible to set the limit to /14 /12 or maybe /10?

And Conrad, the main concern is mostly like in my case to get kicked out while you still have production systems running or the worst case a police raid. 

Best Regards
Tobias
