I've talked to a few services that do one of the following: - Run a Tor exit enclave, which would only allow exit through Tor to your webservers. There are a few services that run a tor client and simply block every IP in the consensus, except their exit enclave. - Run a hidden service. Due to the current state of hidden services, it'll slow down everything. - Run a tor exit enclave against one, non-load balanced server for tor users. If someone abuses it, the reality of slower response times is a self-enforcing feedback loop. Of course, this sucks for the non-abusers. - Rate limiting queries in the application. The Google solution of CAPTCHA. The Yahoo/Bing solution of throwing up a temporary error page when queries cross some threshold per IP address. -- Andrew pgp 0x74ED336B *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
