Re: [tor-talk] doing a google search creates a 403 forbidden when I'm on the tor network

[blobby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I find that Google gives better results than DuckDuckGo. I used to use 
Scroogle before they closed down.

I get the 403 error from time to time. It depends on the exit node 
rather than Tor per se.

The 403 is different to being forced to do a CAPTCHA and then obtaining 
the search results. The 403 does block any results and basically says 
"this is all we know".
