I run some #Tor relays, and I've noticed recently, like in the past year or two, that quite a few websites and services now block direct connections from the IP that the tor relays are on. These are not exit relays, they are just relaying Tor packets to other Tor relays, so the website and services should not see the IPs. My guess is there are lists of IP addresses of Tor relays and services are using that list to block traffic. That is alarming since anyone on the net with a relay is penalized
@eighthave yeah you could even find such list by just typing the IP of your relay into a search engine of your choice. And they are actually promoted exactly for the usecase of "blocking TOR traffic". Which actually only makes sense for network administrators wanting to restrict people inside their network from using TOR and even then you have bridges and Snowflake
