Step 1: User wants to visit a website to buy something while at work. Step 2: Company where that user works blocks access to the website because it's against company policy using a webfilter Step 3: User uses a tor or other proxy to avoid corporate webfilter to visit that website Step 4: User gets blocked by your service when they go to buy because they're using a proxy Step 5: Frustrated user buys same/similar product from another seller who is not using your service and original website looses a sale.
