[tor-relays] Any known Tor relay seizures (in Germany)?

Hello everybody, do you know of any relay seizures of non-exit relays? In the legal FAQ [1] this "risk" is only listed below exit relays. Have there been any of such events in Germany (either exit- or any other nodes)? Would I have to worry about seizures if I run a guard or middle relay in

Re: [tor-relays] Netflix overblocking non-exit Tor relays

Hi, I got ya, but what i do is running VPN on VPS and all home traffic is going over that IP, not ISP. I don't know if you can route your traffic in your home in this way, but I don't see why not. Only .. I don't have Netflix and I don't know if you have box only for it or you have one box for

Because the support people in the call center are not IT people. They don't understand computers and were never trained with tor nodes. They were literally given cookie cutter responses to tell you when you come and say that you are being blocked because of a proxy. They don't have any knowledge

From what I understand, the 3% that was lost should eventually be distributed to the remaining relays, correct? On 02/28/2016 08:39 AM, Kurt Besig wrote: On 2/28/2016 5:00 AM, nusenu wrote: Looks like SG.GS stopped their guard relays. They had >3% guard probability.

Re: [tor-relays] Netflix overblocking non-exit Tor relays

Netflix engineering should be clueful enough to only block Tor-exit nodes. We probably just have to find a way to get in touch with one of their network engineers? -V On Saturday, 27 February 2016, Gero Kuehn wrote: > tl;dr: Even paying customers sharing IPs with
