2) Questions and Answers : Web site : numberfields.asu.edu selectively filtering traffic from my host (Message 1897) Posted 6 Sep 2017 by Sagittarius Lupus Post: Since 11 August 2017, I have discovered numberfields.asu.edu to be dropping all traffic sent from my host, pygoscelis.nethershaw.com (75.182.90.20, [2606:a000:1120:402a::3]). This machine is identified as Computer 35429 in the NumberFields@home project. I'm able to reach numberfields.asu.edu from my other hosts, leading me to conclude that my host's IP address has been filtered by some sort of blacklist. This is a common mistake: I operate a TOR relay on my network as a public service to provide bandwidth to individuals seeking to escape oppressive censorship. This is—very importantly—not an exit node; it does not permit traffic to egress from the TOR network for any reason. Some third-parties falsely identify it as a threat by heuristic means nevertheless because it appears on certain lists, which is a categorical error, and ought to be corrected. I am requesting that my host's address be whitelisted, or otherwise permitted to communicate with numberfields.asu.edu again. It has no history of generating abusive traffic of any kind; this request is made in good faith, and fulfillment will permit me to resume my contributions to the project.
