Welcome to China or Burma. The public list of Tor relays are blocked, so they have to use non-public relays (bridges) to connect to Tor. This appears to be your situation as well. If Auburn's network admins want to talk about their issues, I'm happy to talk to them. I bet with a high probability that by blocking Tor exit nodes, the attacks didn't go away. Now they just originate from other IPs (zombie computers/botnets, open proxies, etc). Blocking tor clients outbound seems overkill to me. -- Andrew Lewman The Tor Project pgp 0x31B0974B Website: https://torproject.org/ Blog: https://blog.torproject.org/ Identi.ca: torproject *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
