🌐 Alternative to the "This is a Tor Exit Router" notice page

Tor Exit Router Page ·

This is an alternative to the, rather ugly, default "This is a Tor Exit Router" page provided by The Tor Project.

This notice is intended to be placed on a virtual host for a domain that your Tor exit router IP reverse resolves to, so that people who may be about to file an abuse complaint would check it first before bothering you or your ISP.

Please read through this page before using the notice page, there are some settings that you must adjust.

Preview

A live demo is available here.

Configuration

You must configure the notice page before start using it. To do so, open _config.yml with a source code editor like Notepad++ and start adjusting the variables to your needs.

If you need help with YAML syntax, here are some quick references for you:

tor-exit-page's Issues

review the text

the language of the text is terrible with a lot of mistakes, and I wouldn't name all those potential users of tor anyways.
you should also replace "computer users" with a standalone "users". Makes not sense add that "computer".
