@jherazob @leberschnitzel they already exist...

• Worst case fork #PoWshield as used by the fmr. admin of #IncognitoMarket if you don't want to work with your hoster/upstream to block #DDoS attacks through #blackholing and having a proper #Firewall setup!

I think it's bad #TechPopulism to think that #Anubis will fix all the issues.

• It's like #KernelLevelAnticheat, #Antivirus and #DRM: A hamfisted approach that harms legitimate users more than the bad actors!

Just block all the #GAFAMs ASNs & #hosters that host #Scrapers so the industry cracks down harder on them than on #IRC, #Tor #ExitNodes, #CSAM & #BitTorrent combined!

@clubchonky personally, I disagree to an extent.

@torproject / #Tor is well battle-tested and combat-hardened and using #OnionServices works just fine, as none of the traffic leaves through #ExitNodes...

@gameplayer @atomicpoet it's not that simple.

• Shure the average cybercriminal can use some hijacked routers and desktops as a proxy for their carding fraud but that doesn't scale with huge amounts of traffic and ISPs do combat proxy use by explicitly checking traffic for it and banning such setups as per ToS.

In fact, many ISPs will forcibly disconnect customers if they detect they run an open proxy or tor exit node.

• Speaking of @torproject, the bandwith of #ExitNodes is way too low for any industrial-scale #scraping operation needed.

@tasket I don't say @tor#Tor is perfect - far from it.

BUT an #OnionService is way easier to conceal, shield and secure than a #SurfaceWeb site.

• Also the main disadvantage of Tor is speed and the fact that @torproject publishes their #ExitNodes, so blocking Tor users is too easy.

Needless to say that there may be different scenarios and it takes individual assessment of needs, capabilities and #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec to the point that I think it's important to teach people to make that decision instead of blanket VPN shilling...

#DontBlockTor

Q: Is there any Hoster that doesn't block or ban @torproject ?

• Cuz #Contabo does per their ToS...

I could understand it if they don't want #ExitNodes and subsequent traffic to taint their rep, but they literally #ban #Tor entirely regardless if #OnionService, #Relay or a private #Bridge.

#DontBlockTor #Bridges

@landley I just use #Tor and since they all treat @torproject users as #Torrorist|s, that makes things easy...

I've not yet taken a look at Kaizushi's #ExitKit for private #ExitNodes cuz that'll basically be a better option to a #VPN...

Otherwise, I'd consider working to get something like a #pfSense on a #VPS at like Hetzner...

@torproject not to mention it's kinda sad that #TorBulkExitList still doesn't list #IPv6 #ExitNodes to this day.

That issue is 7 years (!!!) old.

@kobayashi90 @signalapp @tfunken depends...

Again: #MonoclesChat + #Orbot and one of many #XMPP servers and you get #secure comms and even if the provider/admins are held and gunpoint and forced to log everything, all they see are #Tor #ExitNodes and/or other @torproject Tor nodes and only scrambled stuff...

@stanford @fluepke EXAKT!

Weil für #Tor #ExitNodes gibt's ne #blocklist:
https://github.com/greyhat-academy/lists.d/blob/main/blocklists.list.tsv#L15

@icedquinn
Tor has #deanonymising elements inherant to it, as #exitNodes can be setup to limit traffic speeds, which can then be used at the #TorGuard node and/or #ISP to track users.

That's just one of the many reasons why #i2p and #garlicRouting is better.

@cowanon

@ithinkiam
Quite right the #exitNodes are basically all screwed. People work on this and other related issues. They are appearing, to us, to be making headway.

Can't talk more about that though.
