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.
A live demo is available here.
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.

When you're done adjusting the configuration, build the page.
The index.html file will be inside the _output folder.
Open your torrc configuration file and point DirPortFrontPage to the index.html file you built before. Make sure DirPort is on TCP port 80.
If DirPort is not on TCP port 80, you can setup a web server like nginx or Apache.
