Hi from a frustrated Tor user

Post by Lyberta »

Hi there, before I introduce myself let me say one thing:

Stop banning Tor exit nodes!

Not all Tor users are malicious. For example, I happen to live in a country with oppressive regime and use Tor to bypass my government's firewall and access uncensored Internet. Right now, I was lucky enough to use unbanned exit node so I was finally able to register.

With that said, hi, I'm FaTony I make music using only free software and free samples and publish full source code in git repository. I also release everything under CC0, so it's as public domain as it can get.

My music is mostly orchestral, influenced by works of Philip Glass and Hans Zimmer.

My music: http://fatony.net/stuff/music/
Git repo: https://gitorious.org/fatony/music

Hello FaTony,

Thanks for bringing that up. We're not actively banning tor exit nodes, but some part of the stack we use might. When coming from a 'banned' exit node, is the site unaccessible entirely or just the registration process?

It says you're banned and the ban issued by IP.
