Re: [tor-relays] Speed of my relay not correct on global list
I run a small relay, alias Empire64 (I tried an exit once, but my IP was then banned at several places, so back to only a relay) on Win Xp. PSA: XP is out of date, and no longer supported by Microsoft. Please update, if you can't afford MS licensing please consider a Linux OS. ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
Re: [tor-relays] BBC iPlayer blocked for UK middle relay operators?

This has happened to me too even though I switched mine (relay) off several weeks ago… I have notified BBC (via supplied contact forms 3 times) and have had no resolve Other services affected have been nhs.uk lovefilm.com although since switching my relay off these now work again. My supplier is Virgin Media and I have spent *hours* on tech help support. Nobody can answer this. My dynamic WAN IP (assigned via DHCP) never changes and I’ve been told it can’t won’t ever change…”. It’s been the same IP address for years... This isn't strictly true. If you are using a 'Super Hub' (Combined cable modem / router for those of you outside the UK) in modem mode with another router, if you change the MAC on the router and reboot the Super Hub, you will get a new IP. Obviously, this requires you swap your router, or have a router capable of changing it's MAC address... Therefore if anybody wants to monitor or divert my traffic they can. Who provides your service?

For the last 6 weeks or so now I've been getting messages telling me I'm 'outside the UK' when I'm in London, and my IP address clearly resolves to show that. Just wondering if the provider BBC use for iPlayer might have started just blocking all Tor IPs recently - including middle relays.

Re: [tor-relays] Problems with domestic ISP blocking publicly listed relays
If possible I'd suggest changing the MAC address of your router or swapping router entirely, unless you are using on of their 'super' hubs with a combined modem/router. This will force a new IP address on Virgin Media.

I can log onto system but if I try and stream I get the error message INVALID LOCATION. Sorry, but the requested content is not available in your current location. Opened a service desk ticket but the response was you are trying to stream from outside the UK WTF? Did you configure your browser to use your local Tor daemon as SOCKS proxy?

Re: [tor-relays] On the way to more diversity
This is excellent news! Thanks for your contribution so far! abuse handling services sounds like a great idea to me, I currently run a relay rather than an exit, but if there was more assistance with abuse handling, Id seriously consider becoming an exit. Thanks again, Matthew On Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 8:47 AM, Moritz Bartl mor...@torservers.net wrote: Hi, I have started to make changes to the Torservers.net website to reflect that we have grown from professional Tor Exit hosting to a state where growth of a single organization is not useful any more. We have refrained from ramping up more exit capacity for quite some time because of that. With the help of TorProject Inc., and by being an example for others to follow, we can now refer to multiple organizations, and become an umbrella organization that distributes funds across these organizations. Legally, we might be able to offer abuse handling services for exit operators. I will discuss this with our lawyer, and keep you updated. With the German charitable Wau Holland Foundation, we have found a first great partner for the new Torservers.net. Instead of donating directly to us, you can now donate to the project account at Wau Holland Foundation. Hopefully, we can find even more partners in the future. All partner organizations have been chosen carefully. We will iron out details on how we distribute funds so we get a more diverse Tor network. Please, talk to us if you want to set up a similar organization. https://www.torservers.net/partners.html https://www.torservers.net/donate.html The next step is to also professionalize bridges hosting. It is quite a shame that we only have a few hundred bridges in total. The situation got worse now that regular bridges are blocked in several countries, and in China only obfs3 bridges work -- of which we only have a few. We are actively on the lookout for sponsors interested in funding bridges. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/ ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
