If it is Tor philosophy to prevent criminal activity then should not tor develop other tools apart from port and IP blocking? I am less certain that we can ring our hands of this issue. We will have fewer and fewer exit nodes until the gross attacks like multiple login attempts are restrained in someway. Those exit nodes that have such restrictions would announce the fact on atlas.

Tor very intentionally has no ability (beyond rudimentary port/host blocking) to control the type of traffic it carries, there are no plans to add any sort of IDS functionality, and filtering exit relay traffic is frowned upon by the Tor community. This is why abuse reports happen, and it's the primary reason that Tor relays are blocked by so many services—typically not because folks are against personal privacy, but because they simply take a very practical approach to network security. So, if you (or your ISP) determine that the benefits of Tor aren’t compelling enough to turn a blind eye to malicious Tor traffic and the abuse reports it generates, then your only real options are to either not run an exit, or not run Tor at all. That’s just the way it is. Jon _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
