I'm not quite sure where to report this (that is how this e-mail ends up on tor-relays :) ), nor how to avoid this exit node. Is there a way to do that?

ExcludeNodes in torrc allows you to avoid this node, enjoy the docs at https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en for details.

Thanks Thomas, that is what i did in the meantime.

This is not really the question here. Such relay should get a BadExit flag from the directory authorities so that every Tor clients avoid it without having any extra configuration.

+1. That was indeed the idea of starting this thread :)

Lunar, is there a better place to report this than here?
