Oh the shame! Never had that tag on my exit before.
I assume it was due to a bad boy attacking an IP, pointed out by my ISP, and the ISP put my server "under mitigation". I assume some filtering, which of course would have looked bad to TOR users.
I did not spot the ISP's email for 30 minutes, but then I was able to block the offended IP. Within minutes of doing that the ISP said attack stop and my server was removed from mitigation. However the next day badexit tag on my exit and remains there
How long does the tag last?
I go to my other, overseas exit, a family member, to see the tag is aslo applied there to. Do family members get tarred with the same brush?
I have turned both into relays for the time being.
Or have I got this wrong. Is it a DNS thing? Are no some DNS providers causing issues forcing the tag? I am not using opendns.
