I'll just leave this here: https://github.com/DonnchaC/cloudflare-tor-whitelister https://github.com/DonnchaC/cloudflare-tor-whitelister with a simpe cron job like this ^ you can benefit from cloudflare without blocking TOR. btw cloudflare if you see this. I suspect you could make all of this drama disappear in an instant by adding a convenient firewall control panel option called "whitelist TOR". Then all of the grumbling would be redirected towards the individual websites who neglected to apply this option.

You mean the thing I said we are about to do both in this thread and in TFA? :-) We are going to allow customers to do that. Very soon.

  sorry for not paying attention. high five one other thing since you're here: you could have a second button: whitelist the top 20 most popular private VPN services, and college dorm NAT environments. I know that sounds annoying because it's not a simple task to compile and maintain such a list, but I suspect it's the kind of work that a single non-technical intern could have as a partial responsbility. If you left this control in the "allow" position by default then I bet these VPN providers would start policing their own networks as a means to win your blessing to stay onto the whitelist. Then consumers would have a better idea about which VPN providers are respectable at least in terms of whether or not they nix the most obvious forms of breach attempts/scanning emanating from their nodes. That may sound far-fetched, but I just wanted to throw it out there.
