thanks. i checked that out. i took the first step of directly contacting my ISP (Qwest) and mentioned my reasons for running the exit router, as well as links to the documents mentioned in the first step. below is the representative's response. although it is riddled with misconceptions, the part referring to section 7 of the service agreement seems relevant. suggestions? Dmca violations are treated seriously by Qwest and if they continue you will lose your DSL service. You mentioned you were operating a "Tor exit router" which normally is used for the purpose of hiding ip addresses. If you are allowing people on the internet to hide their ip addresses by routing through your DSL "Tor exit router", then you are violating your DSL service agreement with Qwest. You can find the Qwest DSL service agreement at http://www.qwest.com/legal/highspeedinternetsubscriberagreement. Under "7. Service Conditions" it state that your residential DSL service is only for the use of your pcs within your home. You cannot allow others, outside your house, to use it for the purpose of hiding their ip addresses. You also are responsible for any harmful or illegal traffic that comes from your DSL modem. The fact that your "Tor service" is a configured to block the most common ports associated with abuse does not release you from this responsibility. If you are charging money for the use of the "Tor service" then you are violating the terms of both your residential phone service and your residential DSL service with Qwest as you are not allowed to use either for running a business. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREIAAYFAk0M+34ACgkQXhfCJNu98qBphwCfQzABR7l1WlvWVPHx26RQUBYL FeEAoPZdlpdemE4Otc10qOpI7yLcxg9F =X4Nf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
