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.

Our stance has been, there is no need to use a proxy, PERIOD. Information is not harvested,etc. If you can't play from your actual address and need to be anonymous, then that is really your paranoia and you have to deal with it. I think we like the TOR block just the way it is. DonnyBaker 04:57, 4 January 2009 (EST)
