It was nice when things were not blocked as much. Keep in mind that in the last three years or so Tor has gained significant usage among the general public. That means more Joe/Jane jerkoffs harassing and generally making a mess of things via Tor. Cracking and spam have always been what they are, and are not much trouble. But being a turd invokes helpdesks and policy and management and even LE. Especially on social2.0 sites... facebook, twitter, dating, forums, etc. I don't think anyone really knows their blocking models. One would hope it is not blanket Tor. But per ticketed IP address with an expiry period. Better yet, just nuke the offending account so as to leave the IP's free for the good users. Torproject could speak up here as to the general contents of their dns exit query system logs... say, out of the 20 most popular social, dating, resource, etc sites... we see bulk queries from n of them. Not sure I agree with the provision of such a service other than it would be done anyways, so why not. And presumably any big service would inhouse it. You can always open a counter-ticket to unblock the IP, at least that way you force them to include that class in their monthly desk report :) And anyone who lives in the same city as the HQ of these sorts of sites may wish to inquire about making a presentation to their executive management on the matter, and on Tor itself. Torproject maintains a media archive that could be useful in your preparations. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
