Unfortunately this clearly brands Qwest as a Bad ISP https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TheOnionRouter/GoodBadISPs so the wiki can be updated accordingly if negotiation is impossible. I had the same problem with my cable provider and switched to a friendly ISP. To avoid changing providers you could make your relay a non-exit or bridge. *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
