<title>This is a Tor Exit Router</title>
<!--
This notice is intended to be placed on a virtual host for a domain that
your Tor exit node IP reverse resolves to so that people who may be about
to file an abuse complaint would check it first before bothering you or
your ISP. Ex:
http://tor-exit.yourdomain.org or http://tor-readme.yourdomain.org.
This type of setup has proven very effective at reducing abuse complaints
for exit node operators.
There are a few places in this document that you may want to customize.
They are marked with FIXME.

<body>
<p style="text-align:center; font-size:xx-large; font-weight:bold">This is a
Tor Exit Router</p>
<p>
Most likely you are accessing this website because you had some issue with
the traffic coming from this IP. This router is part of the <a
href="https://www.torproject.org/">Tor Anonymity Network</a>, which is
dedicated to <a href="https://2019.www.torproject.org/about/overview">providing
privacy</a> to people who need it most: average computer users. This
router IP should be generating no other traffic, unless it has been
compromised.</p>

and serve it locally -->

<img src="https://2019.www.torproject.org/images/how_tor_works_thumb.png" alt="How Tor works" style="border-style:none"/>
</a></p>
<p>
Tor sees use by <a href="https://2019.www.torproject.org/about/torusers">many
important segments of the population</a>, 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 <a
href="https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse">abuse</a> 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 <a
href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2008/08/web_fraud_20_tools.html">build,
sell, and trade</a> far larger and <a
href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2008/08/web_fraud_20_distributing_your.html">more
powerful networks</a> 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.</p>
<p>
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.</p>
<p>
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.</p>
<!-- FIXME: US-Only section. Remove if you are a non-US operator -->
<p>
Furthermore, this machine also serves as a carrier of email, which means that
its contents are further protected under the ECPA. <a
href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2707">18
USC 2707</a> explicitly allows for civil remedies ($1000/account
<i><b>plus</b></i> legal fees)
in the event of a seizure executed without good faith or probable cause (it
should be clear at this point that traffic originating from this IP address
should not constitute probable cause to seize the
machine). Similar considerations exist for 1st amendment content on this
machine.</p>
<!-- FIXME: May or may not be US-only. Some non-US tor nodes have in
fact reported DMCA harassment... -->
