[ANN] How to run an optimized Tor node on the Monero network
This video is a walk through on how to run an optimized Tor node. I worked with Ofrnxmr on this to make sure that all the information is up-to-date and correct.

Additionally, the config includes an option … ⌘ Read more

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?
