For now, it would probably be fine to just allow Tor exit nodes for the regular domain and see how it goes. Should it not be sufficient, here are some measures that can be taken to have pie and eat it too: Although it would take some more time & work to configure, a Tor hidden service would let ipadb run for the regular domain while letting in Tor users via a loopback addr. That way, the onion addr could be left as a secret that isn't too hard to find but discourages impatient trolls. Maybe a link in an image on the wiki for a Tor article? * disable ip bans for loopback addr * raise max users on loopback to something like 6 * access toggle with fallback for trusted people This probably wont be necessary, but it's perspective worthy of post. Maybe we get some more traffic from behind great firewalls of cn/ru ^_^ |
| #1. Disable Gikopoi Firewall? |

Should I disable the Gikopoi firewall that keeps out (primarily) Tor users? A lot of people have complained about this over the years; largely I've felt that if people want to use Gikopoi, there should be no problem in using their normal IP address and that there is no good reason for using Tor -- no countries block gikopoi.com and information is already encrypted via HTTPS if people are concerned about roommates or government spying on them. However, at the same time I acknowledge that there may be interesting (yet mentally ill) people who will only use Tor or whatever sketchy VPNs the firewall blocks that are not necessarily pedophiles/spammers. If this experiment goes wrong, it only takes 2 seconds to turn the firewall back on. So, I open this question up to the audience. |
