It would be quite a lot of effort to do that this way, especially since the (preliminary) outcome is the same - sorry, it won't work any better. What I wonder is how they want to make a difference using .onion addresses for their customers - tor crawlers can take that redirect just so. > And for all the other sites that don't use Cloudflare (or other > unsolvable captchas), but don't block TBB, if _"90+% of all Tor traffic > attempts something malicious_," then how in the world do all those sites > stay in business / stay up & running? 90% of tor traffic isn't 90% of total traffic. Also, e.g. those sites will just see that the email addresses they publish are getting spammed, but they won't even make the connection to crawling via tor. Andreas -- "Totally trivial.
