For the benefit of others, to test this from a mac: 1) I ssh-ed to my relay using ssh -D 5555 user@relay
2) I opened up Firefox, went to preferences, at the bottom hit Network Proxy Settings 3) I set *only* the socks host to localhost port 5555, Socks %, and set Proxy DNS at the bottom 4) I went to whatismyipaddress.com and confirmed it came from my relay IP 5) I went to wikipedia and visited a non-front-page article (it turns out articles from the front page often don't have an Edit link at the top) 6) I got something that looked like an edit page, but at the top it said: ------- You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason: Your IP address is in a range which has been blocked on all wikis. The block was made by Vituzzu (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given is Open proxy: Linode (+2600:3C03:0:0:F03C:91FF:FE70:63CA). Start of block: 22:53, 16 June 2013 Expiration of block: 12:51, 21 May 2018 -------- Alison: My relay is https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/C0EDB08D7540D1DD3CA69809ED17D979F51B66E3 and it has never been an exit. -tom On 2 January 2018 at 15:13, Alison Macrina <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi friends, > > I'd like to collect some anecdata about this issue regarding Wikipedia > blocking edits from Tor non-exit relays: > https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24758 > > If you run a non-exit relay, would you be so kind as to go to > wikipedia.org from that IP, click "edit" on any page, and report to me > off-list if your relay is blocked or not?
