Do you mean ingress? You probably wouldn’t want to allow ingress or egress, but the statement says connecting from a TOR exit node to CapitalOne, not the other way around.
- Scoundreller 7y agoSometimes the best way to handle "bad" traffic is not to reject/block it, but to respond to it incredibly slowly, or divert to an uninteresting flaky phantom server, or reject every login attempt (even with correct credentials) to divert attacker's attention. The ingress was okay, but the egress flow was very very bad!

- Scoundreller 7y agoI think it was a part of mailinator’s approach to running a disposable email server. The operator’s approach to bad actors was to respond as slowly as possible instead of quickly rejecting.
