Hello,
I'm located in Belgium.
I keep two small middle relays (no exit, not even guard)…

https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/07E3A0DC6AD4A5F07D1AF942626EBBF6CC0C72C7
If I browse the web using a common browser using the basic services of
the ISPs (no torbrowser, no tor network) and at least since may 2023,
I've observed that some websites (banks, federal services,…) simply
don't respond when I want to open their webpages.
If I use another IP from the same locations (using vpn, ssh proxy,
whatever), those same websites simply respond and works without issue.
If I switch back to the local ISP IP, those are unreachable, and so on.
If I contact those ISPs or the banks IT services, for them there are no
problem.
For me, it's clear that hosting simple middle relays puts my ISPs IPs to
some black lists handled by who knows who.
If hosting basic middle relays is blocking common web services, it will
be hard / nearly impossible for me to encourage family, friends or
customers to host a basic middle relays.
Maybe there is no need for more and more middle relays, I don't know.
Does someone encounter the same kind of annoyances ?
regards,
tierce
