You should upgrade. But you probably already know that. The 3.5 lacks vidalia
tho.
I've used Tor browser to view this forum for several months without issues
(doing it right now!). I'm currently using Tor v0.2.4.18-rc (not the primary
browser bundle - though not why that should make a difference). I don't have
issues when using Iceweasel in TAILS either. The only issues I
I run Tor on a few flavors of Win7, also Win XP and a couple of GNU/Linux
distributions, including Tails. Even Tor I use in all its three states:
alpha, beta and stable. To make things worse, some run with all scripts
disabled, a few have extensions added.
The firewall should block
Read only access doesn't fight spam?
Sorry, but you seem to have a prejudice. I don't know a site for which the
administrators have made a conscious decision to block Tor. Take Wikipedia
for example. They block any open proxy they find out. That is their policy.
And, as both code and text are free, anybody is free to make an
Again, thank you Andrew for the bug report. Being for the first time I had no
idea Tor was Ok before. Now it's fixed.
Cheers!
It's easy to deny (read AND write) or allow (read AND write) but would mean
tinkering to allow read while denying write.
I'm sure patches are accepted though.
The user agent string is easily spoofed. I imagine spammers would be spoofing
legitimate browsers anyway.
Some certainly would, some however won't. And I would bet a large majority of
those who do, will use a windoze UA.
Never crossed my mind such an issue would be already reported. Glad to meet
another Tor user!
Thank you andrew. That's the best way to handle it.
Nice to meet you too. I am happy to see other people here using Tor as their
main browser. It's a very important thing to protect ourselves (I know that
from personal experience :S).
If you don't mind me asking, which OS do you run, and what other
privacy/security tools do you use?
I am
I don't think it should be blocked even if it was nonfree software. It would
just be like trisquel.info blocking Internet Explorer because it's
proprietary.
Why is there a need for whitelisting user agent strings anyway? The user
agent string is easily changed, and malicious clients will just spoof a
legitimate one anyway.
I'd bet the reason is fighting spammers.
Usually Tor users face some prejudice on the internet... Some evil doers
use Tor, so Tor get's blocked at a lot of places. Problem is, the real evil
doers will use other ways to do so, while the good honest people using Tor
for their protection will lose access to content because of that.
I normally use Tor for my browsing. I noticed I am unable to even read the
Trisquel forum while on Tor. Why is that? Not all users are bad. It's not
that different from a proxy or VPN.

Anyway, thank you for using HTTPS.

I agree however, there is no reason for Tor to be whitelisted or blacklisted.
I am forced to keep this old version just to come here. -.-
I've posted a bug report here:
