[tor-relays] Suggestion to make Tor usage more disguised

Well, you are forgetting that all TOR relays are using an IP, and these IP's are stored in a public list.
So you do not have to check your logs as a network admin, you just have to download the list every 24H and wright and a simple script (and make use of iptables on a Unix Server) to deny the initiative connection to a TOR entry node, simple as that.
It is more an attitude of the network setup and corporate understanding towards TOR.

Best regards,
elrippo
