Hmm.. came across this because my bot flagged it as "not Tor" - it's a Tor node, though the exit policy denies HTTP and HTTPS, so technically for our purposes it's not an active node we need to block. But considering that this node is obviously being used to snoop on Tor users (it only accepts POP, IMAP, AIM and IRC traffic?) I think we can safely say that we don't want the miscreants on this network editing WP anyway. :) krimpet✽ 18:27, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
