The mit.edu website listed in the readme of the plugin doesn't work. If you look in torblock.cpp, the plugin actually pulls data from http://moria.seul.org:9032/tor/status/authority so I changed the link to that. Mets 17:46, 20 May 2008 (EDT)
The current implementation blocks any IP-address mentioned in the above list. Looking at the list, you can find, that there are some nodes listed as 'Exit', and some are not. Perhaps the plug-in could be improved to make the choice to block some hosts more sensible. The plug-in could improve even more to only block nodes that actually have exit-policies that would allow to connect to the testing server. I prethee you to heed the information in the Tor abuse FAQ.
