for those that don't already know, the tor ban has been reinstated after spammers abused in the game. i can't shake the unfounded feeling this has something to do with recent harassment of tor relay operators. the attacker is port scanning honeypots with spoofed source addresses of the relays to get abuse reports sent. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/analysis/-/issues/85 concerted effort to get tor banned everywhere? who's to say. |
| #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. |
