[tor-relays] Intrusion Prevention System Software - Snort or Suricata

[oconor at email.cz]

You still propably don't see that it consumes a lot of time to deal even 
with automaticly generated messages. During last years all network attacks 
graduates, if you're not going to solve that, every wise ISP is going to 
refuse to host you.

No, we don't need to do anything. Tor has been running under these

principles of uncensored access for a long time. Find an ISP that

understands Tor, appreciates the nature of the service and its value,

and is willing to work with you in a reasonable manner on abuse

complaints. It's that simple.

Apples and oranges; the logic doesn't work for me. The rules (laws)

*are* different for relay operators. See Roger's earlier comments in

this thread. Relay operators are closer to common carrier / ISP laws,

in that there is some degree of legal immunity if you're just passing

bits. This is why an ISP in the United States isn't liable for illegal

activity from a customer (broadly speaking, IANAL, etc). Yes we need

to be responsive to abuse complaints, but no, we don't have to

implement IPS systems or proactively block traffic just to appease an

ISP who gets stressed out by automated abuse complaints.
