How to ban many IPs?

[slush]

Thanks for post.

I know it is solution, but I prefer exit node, because I think it is more
universal (it can be used as middleman and also as exit).

There is no question about law (I think there is no problem in my country,
expecially when it is university server). It is only about people on
university, which are against porn and other non-legal activities. When we
will run non-exit router, it is only hiding eyes to problem.

I have one idea, but it is not so clear and systematic. In ExitPolicy
mechanism, router have to export all unwanted IPs. But here can be mechanism
like ExitPolicy, with one difference. List of banned IPs will not be
exported to directory servers, but with attemp to access any resource, exit
node will match it with blacklist (can be very, very long). Exit node then
return error code to tor client, which will change path (and use different
exit node).

I know, I know, it is nasty and Im ashamed for this solution. But it can
solve my problem :) with support inside Tor.
