THIS IS A TOR EXIT ROUTER

Most likely you are accessing this website because you had some issue with the
traffic coming from this IP. This router is part of the Tor Anonymity Network,
which is dedicated to providing privacy to people who need it most: average
computer users. This router IP should be generating no other traffic, unless it
has been compromised.

If you are a Swiss law enforcement official please read also the background
information available in German and French. How Tor works

Tor sees use by many important segments of the population, including
journalists, Chinese dissidents skirting the Great Firewall and oppressive
censorship, whistle blowers, abuse victims, stalker targets, the US military,
and law enforcement, just to name a few. While Tor is not designed for malicious
computer users, it is true that they can use the network for malicious ends. In
reality however, the actual amount of abuse is quite low. This is largely
because criminals and hackers have significantly better access to privacy and
anonymity than do the regular users whom they prey upon. Criminals can and do
build, sell, and trade far larger and more powerful networks than Tor on a daily
basis. Thus, in the mind of the charitable organization Digital Society, the
social need for easily accessible censorship-resistant private, anonymous
communication trumps the risk of unskilled bad actors, who are almost always
more easily uncovered by traditional police work than by extensive monitoring
and surveillance anyway.

In terms of applicable law, Tor routers explicitly do not contain identifiable
routing information about the source of a packet, and no single Tor node can
determine both the origin and destination of a given transmission.

The Digital Society is not a communication service provider (CSP) or a provider
of derived communication services according Art. 2 of the Federal Act on the
Surveillance of Post and Telecommunications from March 18th 2016 (SPTA, SR
780.1). Therefore the association is not required by law to comply with Art. 21
f and 26 f SPTA. There is no obligation to provide information or for data
retention. In fact under Swiss privacy law it is forbidden to collect personal
data (as IP addresses) as long as it is not transparent, of legitimate purpose
and proportional.

As such, there is little the operator of this router can do to help you track
the connection further. This router maintains no logs of any of the Tor traffic,
so there is little that can be done to trace either legitimate or illegitimate
traffic (or to filter one from the other). Attempts to seize this router will
accomplish nothing.

That being said, if you still have a complaint about the router, you may contact
the maintainer.

You also have the option of blocking this IP address and others on the Tor
network if you so desire. The Tor project provides a web service to fetch a list
of all IP addresses of Tor exit nodes that allow exiting to a specified IP:port
combination, and an official DNSRBL is also available to determine if a given IP
address is actually a Tor exit server. Please be considerate when using these
options. It would be unfortunate to deny all Tor users access to your site
indefinitely simply because of a few bad apples.
