dan.me.uk DAN TOR DNS Blacklist
The dan.me.uk DAN TOR DNS blocklist (or blacklist) identifies Tor nodes in the live network to help manage anonymous traffic.
Updated on 17 Jun 2026: We added lookup details and tightened the guidance around Tor listings, delisting, and email impact.

The dan.me.uk DAN Tor DNS blacklist is a DNS-based blocklist (DNSBL) that identifies IP addresses operating as nodes on the live Tor network. Unlike blacklists that focus on spam or direct abuse, this list identifies Tor participation. Its purpose is to provide a current list of Tor nodes.
The operational policy of this blocklist is fully automated. It lists any IP address that is part of the live Tor network, including:
- Entry nodes
- Transit nodes
- Exit nodes
The DNS zone is .tor.dan.me.uk. It is DNSSEC signed with a full chain from the root to individual entries, and the service is reachable over IPv4 and IPv6. Because it lists all Tor nodes, use this blacklist for Tor policy decisions rather than treating it as proof of spam or abuse.
Who runs the dan.me.uk DAN Tor DNS blacklist?
The dan.me.uk DNS blacklists are operated by Daniel Austin in the United Kingdom. The service runs from several diverse nameservers in multiple locations, which helps keep DNS responses available for users who depend on the blocklist.
The service is free and has no query limits. It is used by organizations including IRC networks that need to identify traffic originating from the Tor network.
How do you query the dan.me.uk DAN Tor DNS blacklist?
To check an IPv4 address, reverse the octets and append .tor.dan.me.uk. For IPv6, expand the address, reverse it in nibble format, and append the same zone.
IPv4 query exampletext
192.0.2.123 -> 123.2.0.192.tor.dan.me.uk Listed response: 127.0.0.100
A listed IP returns an A record of 127.0.0.100. It also returns a TXT record with extra node information in this format:
TXT response formattext
N:<nodename>/P:<port1[,port2]>/F:<flags>
- N is the Tor node name.
- P is the onion router port and, when present, the directory port.
- F contains Tor flags such as Exit, Guard, Running, Stable, Valid, or BadExit.
How do I get removed from dan.me.uk DAN Tor DNS blacklist?
There is no manual delisting process or complaint procedure for the dan.me.uk DAN Tor DNS blacklist. Removal is automatic and tied to the IP address's status on the live Tor network.
The Tor node list is updated automatically every 30 minutes. If your IP address is listed, it means it is currently operating as a Tor node. To be removed from this blocklist, stop running the Tor node on that IP address. Once the node is no longer active on the network, the IP is automatically removed from the blacklist, with a maximum delay of one hour.
If you did not intend to run Tor, check whether the IP is shared with a hosting customer, was recently reassigned, or has unauthorized software running on it. The list does not judge intent; it only reflects what the live Tor network reports.
What's the impact of being listed on dan.me.uk DAN Tor DNS blacklist?
The impact of being listed on the dan.me.uk DAN Tor DNS blacklist is usually low for general email deliverability. Major mailbox providers generally do not use this specific list as a spam-reputation source because its purpose is to identify Tor nodes, not spam senders.
The impact becomes practical when a system administrator or network operator uses the blocklist to restrict anonymous traffic. Web applications, IRC networks, SSH endpoints, APIs, and some mail systems can block or flag connections from listed Tor nodes for policy reasons.
If an email server shares an IP address with a Tor node, mail can be blocked by services that specifically restrict Tor traffic. In that case, the issue is an IP policy problem rather than a normal sender reputation problem.
For email investigations, Suped's DMARC reporting helps confirm whether failures are SPF, DKIM, or DMARC related. A dan.me.uk DAN Tor DNS blacklist hit still needs separate IP-level remediation because it is based on Tor network status.
