: Up to now I thought it was impossible to filter out what tor users do from our tor exit nodes. A little experimentation later I've found a way how to limit what users can or cannot do. Please do check if filtering content is legal according to the laws of your country. Personally I have decided that I'd rather be investigated because of filtering illegal materials than to be investigated because I was helping a criminal. Do whatever you wish with the information provided. You may not like the filtering - but every exitpoint operator can decide for himself what he wants to do. 

I am not a lawyer, but I believe by doing this you're actually opening
yourself up to more liability than you'll ever correct.

effectively what you're doing.
