Shard blocking Tor nodes

[Frustration]

I've tried connecting to the shard over the Tor network a couple of times now, but the vast majority of exit node IPs I've used are blocked by "Spam Firewall."

 

I know that's probably a third party software, and the shard might not have a lot of control over it, but I would really appreciate it if that could be changed.

I am not sure that's wise to change. We have to block a LOT of traffic. There are tons of spam bots and tons of AI webcrawlers (if the site is slow, that's why! We are being slammed by way higher traffic from them and it's touch to deal with).

Okay that's fair, I didn't think of that.

I was also unaware that webscrapers would use the Tor network I would have thought the infamously slow speeds would encourage them to use clearnet connections or VPNs. Interesting.
