Are you running a relay on your home network connection? That is discouraged for a whole bunch of reasons, one of which is that several "this IP is a source of spam" blacklists indiscriminately list _all_ Tor relays, whether or not they are exit nodes. This in turn causes random websites to block non-Tor access from the same address. California's government website maintainers are probably subscribing to one of those blacklists, and that's probably out of ignorance rather than malice (the blacklists in question bill themselves as "more comprehensive" than others). zw -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJVx4cSAAoJEJH8wytnaapk/i0QALmPyz3Rmz2SUtyO5vSIKObP DoazDoWJDYHzz35XHRL0QeamzJD0W+6JbB3vdmwK/i5DXIDabP+4VSgZlTqIqSvN eoj8qv0E7TDJ8VQmDz9LAih4XC427geGuuwJFG29cBYT4wlTuJk/kJBHTAdpOh7V 8lV6UEVniLx6MIIMq94hiDVjBmU6qKbDx7yaiKQvcDfbs0t7Kuf2InUIOhevdat7 0RI8xAvu/KBoTpAvAplofaudHcf9KMt7NB8fYh2HN6xvPghLuMbY5mT0jxHOPaKE aJK6oKgOioXP2isH5BeWVpy8+YtMJKyYt470TyDt+3vMFbrc+JWlkYN493T+SIWq fXD5mnOvp3ruZ6xWD6dIOOTTp3I9zz4mmYUXEIWtiFNEFJXGMHPl4ltPwPm+4W8K inIjUF4WnMTvYaZ3MCNopPeq7CrBTPXT/WYN06W0zHSiWbNGBHQ6LHhxeUjpuOtT 2sc9hGTfkvs7jmLghT1wVBT7V7QomhKEFXnI60vjsSsiI94c29kY6gKCEn+COjVX eczdaOBW62pOwPXIAPcLyQMkAc/ACLtGE+dO+zSaMVIofoLcM8g2R4dYhcpdeNWP BwPk0ENOQzy9b2FFFYLciBrx3W7YfAAPw1infabI819e5/HKqYxBiHl2mH6Z5ab5 /A8CjOEk0Jm3beKhxcAq =QJXS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
