[tor-relays] Legal status of operating Tor exit in UK?

2015-09-08 Thread Jonathan Baker-Bates
I run an exit node with an ISP who initially indicated they would not have a problem with Tor as long as I was transparent about what I was doing, and ran a sufficiently reduced exit policy. They have now sent me evidence of malicious traffic coming from the exit. I don't think they've had any

I have just been informed by Vultr that they now do not tolerate exit relays. The wiki[0] suggested they were a good host for exits, and vultr's staff confirmed to me at the start of the year that exits are fine. They appear to have changed their mind. [0]

The ISP is Jump Networks, with whom I have a co-location in their Telehouse suite. I'd recommend them highly otherwise, but somewhat unexpectedly, they're using the bad traffic report as an opportunity to engage me in a rather philosophical debate about Tor. It's interesting to hear their opinions
