THIS IS A TOR EXIT ROUTER

You’re likely seeing this page because you had some issue with traffic
originating from one of these IP addresses:

 * 23.128.248.0/24
 * 2602:FC05::/40

This router is part of the Tor Anonymity Network, which is dedicated to
providing privacy to people who wants to use the internet anonymously. This
router should be generating no other traffic, unless it has been compromised.

As can be seen from the Tor overview page, the Tor network is designed to make
tracing of users impossible. This is because the Tor network is a
censorship-resistant, privacy, and anonymity system used by many important
segments of the population, including whistle blowers, journalists, Chinese
dissidents skirting the Great Firewall and oppressive censorship, 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 this operator, 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, the best way to understand Tor is to consider it a
network of routers operating as common carriers, much like the Internet
backbone. However, unlike the Internet backbone routers, 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.

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.

If you are a representative of a company who feels that this router is being
used to violate the DMCA, please be aware that this machine does not host or
contain any illegal content. Also be aware that network infrastructure
maintainers are not liable for the type of content that passes over their
equipment, in accordance with DMCA "safe harbor" provisions. In other words, you
will have just as much luck sending a takedown notice to the Internet backbone
providers. Please consult EFF's prepared response for more information on this
matter.

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 website
indefinitely simply because of a few bad apples.
