thanks for confirming

I liked how the failed AROI verification flagged that relay already :)

> D5A3882CBDBE4CAD2F9DDA2AB80FE761BEDC3F11.for-privacy.net failed DNS verification (missing DNS TXT record)

This view makes it nicely visible:
https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/w/contact/7efebfd57d24dd5df1444e9e2e1a4624.html
- the only OVH relay
- no AROI checkmark
- MyFamily mismatch

I was thinking of an addition to OrNetStats' AROI checker that automatically sends an operator
an email when an AROI verification fails on one of their relays,
but I didn't want to give bad guys the ability to spam relay operators
and I'm regularly reaching out to operators with relays that fail the AROI verification anyway.

Watch out for more false friends.

kind regards,
nusenu
