Craigslist was slowing down anyone with a tor IP, though it appears they may be blocking the majority now.
The automated messages from Craiglist appear like this: This IP has been automatically blocked. If you have questions, please email: [email protected] A template for anyone who feelsl ike emailing craigslist (or their favorite site): Please kindly remove Tor IP addresses from the list of blocked IPs by your site! The IP address your site has blocked is from the Tor network, which is a censorship resistance, privacy, and anonymity system used by whistle blowers, journalists, Chinese dissidents skirting the Great Firewall, abuse victims, stalker targets, the US military, and law enforcement, just to name a few. For more information, please see: https://www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html.en Unfortunately, some people misuse the network. However, compared to the rate of legitimate use (the IP range in question processes nearly a gigabit of traffic per second), abuse complaints are rare. <https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse.html.en> As can be seen from the overview page, the Tor network is designed to make tracing of users impossible. The Tor network is run by some 5000 volunteers who use the free software provided by the Tor Project to run Tor routers. It is also possible to download a list of all Tor exit IPs that will connect to your servers at the following link: https://check.torproject.org/cgi-bin/TorBulkExitList.py?ip=YOUR_IP&port=80 For more information, please see: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorAbuseTemplates Sincerely, An honest, privacy-sensitive user -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
