It's especially moronic that Cloudflare thinks everyone using Tor is trying to DDOS every site.

Do you know how fucking slow Tor is? You couldn't DDOS an Arduino with it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago

Probably because there are A LOT of people using that tor exit node that have visited that site recently. So, cloudflare sees it as a potential DDOS

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

Onion sites get DDOS attacks constantly. That's why Dread has so many backup links.

afaik, cloudflare has an option to disallow tor traffic. so the website owner decided they don't want tor

Not only tor. Any user agent string that has no valid info is marked as not trusted/bot/gtfo
