"Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.bestbuy.com/"; on this server. Reference #18.2d941160.1412538970.11956e25" Access from a non-relay IP, works fine. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, BTW. Incidental aside- This put me in a weirdly dystopic/paranoid spot; looking 5 years out- if you're not coming from one of the monopolistic ISPS[0] that widely share customer data, throttle for profit, molesting[1] your packets, we consider you unsavory and you're not worth the liability to our web properties. We're also getting a share of the data from your ISP, so though we lose a few customers, we're happy to ban you for access to marketing data that pumps up sales. Give me some hope? :) [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comcast-Time_Warner_Cable_merger [1] https://gist.github.com/ryankearney/4146814 On Sun, Sep 28, 2014 at 11:08 AM, Todd Troxell <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Folks, I run several relays, including a non-exit relay from my home > rack.
