Achtung Schleudergefahr How do you know that log file entries were created by queries from the TOR (network) and it would be a waste of time to try and find out who the subscriber is? (Click for more details.)

$ curl -s https://check.torproject.org/exit-addresses \
| awk '/ExitAddress/ { print $2; }' \
> /tmp/tor-exit-addresses
$ while read IP ; do
    if grep --fixed-strings "${IP}" /tmp/tor-exit-addresses \
    > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
      printf "${IP}\n"
    fi
  done

37.48.124.116
204.11.50.131
5.28.62.85

[...]

If you want tor exit nodes to be filtered out, just insert "--invert-match" after "--fixed-strings".
