Hi,

My ISP's upstream has blackholed the server 62.210.92.11 hosting
pkg.mxe.cc, because the server was allegedly involved in a ransomware
attack. The black holing happened sometime in the last month or thereabouts.

I complained to my ISP, but their upstream would not whitelist the IP
address until the server owner can verify that they are "no longer
compromised".

Well i googled the IP address and i think this server also hosts some
TOR stuff, so a ransomware attack or two is probably not unusual. But
the end result is I am subject to this unfair collateral blocking by my
ISP's upstream...

This is encroaching on your time and i do really appreciate the
pkg.mxe.cc service. But would the owner of this server be interested in
either
(A) getting in touch with me privately for traceroutes && details on
responding to the abuse complaint, or
(B) separating the pkg.mxe.cc service IP address from the TOR service IP
address?

Thanks

mappu
