[tor-relays] Exit node situation in Finland

[Nurmi, Juha]

Greetings Tor Relay mailing list,

I decided to write little bit about Finnish exit node situation.

I am maintaining this exit node campaign in Finland:

http://campaigns.ahmia.fi/finnish-tor-campaign/index_en.html

In Finland:

- Running an exit node is absolutely legal
- ISP may cut your connection because it is listed as malware host
- The National Cyber Security Center Finland (NCSC-FI) is able to
"whitelist" your IP address so the ISP does not get those automated malware
detections
- Sebastian Mäki got police visit because his exit node
- The National Bureau of Investigation is using exonerator.torproject.org
so basically they are considering this information before they rush to your
home
- There has been warming up phase that maybe Finnish libraries start some
Tor activity

I am doing a lot of local advocacy work here :)

Best,
Juha
