I got my wife banned from EsperNet IRC because I was playing around with Tor one evening. Here is their policy:
http://www.esper.net/rbl.php http://www.esper.net/rbl.php
Our ip-address at home ended up on a blacklist. Eventually the ban was lifted but my wife was not happy for a couple of days ...
I wonder if there are other services (IRC, MMO, etc...) that adopt a NO TOR policy.
- marshray 13y agoUnless you were running an exit node I don't see the logic in blocking you. I think that kind of aggressive scanning is pretty rare.
- Yuioup 13y agoYes I was. I was using the Tor browser bundle and checked the box in the settings. Good thing you mentioned that detail I've forgotten it. But still though. If they make Tor a feature in Firefox what is stopping any user from checking that box?
- simmons 13y agoWell, Hacker News, for one, seems to auto-hellban posts (or new user registrations?) from Tor. I'm not sure if this is specifically targeting Tor, or if it's some automated system reacting to active abuse from Tor exit node IP addresses. I imagine it can be a tough call for web site operators who want to support anonymity, but also don't want to deal with the bad apples who will use it to create grief.
