If the IP falls in a pre-identified 'dirty' range, I never unban it. Based on my logs I had the distinct impression Cloudflare did not block TOR. So, I wrote Cloudflare. Their response was:

All IPs are treated the same -- so if suspicious activity was seen from an IP that happens to be a TOR exit node then it'll be challenged by our system before it can access a CloudFlare page. This is no different than any other IP that might be doing something suspicious though. We haven't considered a particular feature to bloc TOR access, but I can pass on the feedback internally.

'country' codes or other similar designations of sources (generic or

A1,"Anonymous Proxy"
A2,"Satellite Provider"
O1,"Other Country"
