THIS IS A TOR EXIT ROUTER

You’re likely seeing this page because you had some issue with traffic
originating from this IP address (185.100.87.129). 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 still have a complaint about the router, you may contact CCC Stuttgart
e.V., who runs this exit router, at tor-abuse@cccs.de. If complaints are related
to a particular service that is being abused, I will consider removing that
service from my exit policy, which would prevent my router from allowing that
traffic to exit through it. However, I can only do this on an IP + destination
port basis. Common P2P ports are already blocked.

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.
