I have trouble with a web crawler using the TOR network. It’s misusing the gopher proxy on my page. I don’t want to disable/block tor (that would be the easy way out). It’s permanently changing user agents and ignoring robots.txt. It ignores HTTP status codes. I’m currently serving it 4MB binary garbage in form of Link. It sucked in about 40GB of data now, but it doesn’t explode and keeps crawling. Any other idea about what to do with it?

Ok, everything is back on my tilde.town homepage. Thanks to web.archive.org ^^ I’m just sad I couldn’t retrieve my twtxt.txt file :/

why did they call it ‘Web Prolog’ instead of ‘PlanNET’? was it just so that people couldn’t say ‘hack the PlanNET’ every time a vuln was found? that’s a bad reason.
