Hi Conrad, Thank you for running exit relays and helping diversify the Tor network. I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue with Irdeto / your colocation facility, I understand how frustrating these situations can be.
I’m going to reach out to you off list to discuss this issue further and offer some potential short-term / long-term solutions. Thanks again, you should be receiving an email from me shortly. > On Aug 23, 2018, at 7:51 AM, Conrad Rockenhaus <con...@rockenhaus.com> wrote: > > Signed PGP part > So, new equipment gets plugged into a colo….
