-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Looks like the story of RentalSponge is over. I'm very sorry for this but theres nothing I can do with my current ISP.
They said that running a tor-exit is now banned on their network. Before I rented the server they said that I could run an exit node without any interference from them. The point at renting a server from them was that Tor was ok even when I told them that there is going to be dmca / abuse complaints. The ISP in case is Tenue oy http://www2.tenue.fi/, a finnish ISP which rent's virtual servers etc. I'll try somehow to get some new server to run tor-exit with but it could take a long time.
