Oh! I too use the filter as in "BlockingBittorrent".
I did not want to restrict my relay to the "ReducedExitPolicy". Almost all complaints were Bittorrent related. So I hoped "BlockingBittorent" would be the right ting to do.
- should the "BlockingBittorrent" recipe be changed in a way, that it
changes the exit policy of the relay instead of the firewall?
How to block torrents from ThePirateBay anyway?
Is there a way to block any bittorrent traffic?
I would advise, again, just to use the Reduced Exit Policy. I never get DCMA/copyright complaints. Most of the complaints I get are due to morons port-scanning through Tor, or from webmail spamming.
It sounds very handy to use the Reduced Exit Policy. But if we _all_ do that there will be too little exits for users who want to connect to 'strainge' ports. That way they get less anonyimity because they can't choose from hundreds of exits.
In general it is best practice to block/reduce as little traffic as possible. Than we can guarantee enough diversity for everyone, even those people using exotic applications/protocols.
