Site blocked over Tor - happysmash27 - Jan 07, 2021
Today, I tried to access SuprBay.org with my normal browser settings, which route over Tor by default. This gives a message that the IP has been banned. Anyone have any information on this? It doesn't make sense to block Tor when you literally have a link to download the Tor browser in the site header. It also hurts anyone who wants to browse without ISP snooping or interference, but who does not have money for a VPN. I myself have money for a VPN, but due to how it is set up on my computer, I have to use a network namespace to access it, which stops audio from working in my browser, a very annoying situation. Perhaps I should fix that issue, given just how many sites have been blocking Tor lately.
Turns out there's an onion link in the footer of the page. If you are accessing over Tor, use that! It works well.

tor isn't blocked. Abusive IP addresses get blocked. If that IP address happens to be an exit node, that is coincidence. Tor is a popular tool for *****, so there are probably a number of banned exit nodes in the list.
That said, there are also a lot of old entries in the list. It is probably ripe for pruning.
As you noted, if you are using tor then it is recommended to also use the .torify.net address. For those using tor browser, it will let you know in the address bar that there is an .torify.net version of the site available.

When I get that msg , I do:
->File->New TOR Circuit for this Site
Usually the blocked msg goes away after once or twice on that option.
