Hello everybody,

Just to keep you informed - and to tell you that my case may probably now be 
considered as "solved"

-I decided to put a Reduced Exit Policy: if my ISP already transmitted to me 83 
abuses notifications in 2 weeks without cutting down my servers, the few abuses 
notifications that will happen with Reduced Exit Policy will be OK.

-I didn't have any answer by my ISP :( as if they absolutely don't care of 
nothing, or don’t have enough time. It sounds like I will never know their 
feeling about my exit nodes! With no hope of any clear agreement with my ISP, 
it will probably not be reasonable for me to put a Full Exit Policy on my 
servers without taking the risk to lose them soon or late. But to let Irdeto 
and IP-Echelon spams to win and trample on our common freedom is a little bit 
exasperating!

My 2 "ArachnideFR35" servers will now probably come back to their previous 
bandwidth (12200KB/s and 3800KB/s) in the following days and weeks. (But with a 
little bit less available ports!)


Thank you very much for all your mails and advices ;)
Stay motivated!

Best regards to all,
Julien ROBIN
