Possibly non tor-related? As far as I read the post, it isn't clear right now why the raid had taken place, and I know (unfortunately) from personal experience as a raided exit-operator in NL it can take a while before this is clear why exactly the raid happened. Took me a few weeks to get clarity, also because the police will not tell you much until they have analysed the evidence.
I think this is a very important point to keep in mind. Searching the web for the IP in question it is found in a few blocklists that don't typically list all Tor nodes, so another idea would be that your node was pwned and someone used it for a botnet/put an open proxy there, etc. Did you(r ISP) ever get abuse complaints?
That's certainly possible. the MIVD was an exit for a short time over a year ago. This caused abuse complains by my ISP and I edited the config to disallow exit connections. Never heard anything since.
It's possible that something is coming back to haunt me.
Police might have found your IP address, seen it's a Tor server, and assumed the traffic was coming from Tor.
Anyhow, David, good luck, it's not easy having to explain your neighbors why the police raided your house.
Yes! Also, good luck figuring out what the exact allegations are and getting your hardware back.
Thank you for your support for Tor.
All the best Sebastian
