I2P has a mechsnism for banning routers, permanently or temporarily.
It looks it knows what to block from a local blocklist file and from a “blocklist feed”, but I don’t know what’s the latter right now. I hope you can excuse me on that, I’m also quite new on the topic.
It’s no problem, I’m asking because I don’t know how Tor works either… At least, not in great detail.
Tor allows you to configure a bridge manually, which they describe in the app as an “unlisted relay”… So in theory, even a malicious set of directory servers could be overridden.
I figure somebody needs to make the call to allow or deny something somewhere, Right? Something needs to be hard-coded somewhere, so that people can download the app and use it without requiring extra knowledge of something in particular. Or at least, I imagine that’s the goal (by the point you are using an unlisted relay, conditions have probably gotten pretty dire).
Here is the list of the currently available directory servers: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/flag:authority
This article claims that their list is hardcoded, but honestly I’m not sure right now whether it means you can change it.
