[tor-talk] [Need quick help] 30+ mbps node taken down by host

[Moritz Bartl]

Hi,

The last thing that comes to mind is to block port 80 and 443, at least
for some time.

Even if you decide in the end to turn it into a non-exit relay, it will be
beneficial to Tor users.

Thanks for trying. Please add the ISP to the GoodBadISP wiki page.
