Comment(by sjwright):
I'm in the same situation as the bug reporter.
(I'm also very sympathetic to the operators of check.torproject.org -- the
reason I block TOR is because 99%+ of traffic I get from TOR exit nodes is
VERY aggressive data scraping and file downloading. Hopefully the
operators of TOR don't object to me blocking TOR traffic, because my
blocking it helps do my bit to avoid wasteful use of the network.)
Replying to [comment:3 arma]:
> Speaking of which, we could use some help making that new bulkexitlist
script. Basically, there are two inputs: 1) A text file mapping
fingerprints to exit IP addresses, and 2) A set of relay descriptors that
include fingerprint and exit policy.
In the meantime, '''would it be possible for check.torproject.org to host
these two source files, sans processing?''' If the current problem is CPU
load, hosting static files should alleviate the problem for now. And when
a better script is made available, you could keep these static files
available in case users want to do the processing locally -- this might be
helpful if someone would otherwise be doing queries against tens or
hundreds of different IPs.
