[Automated] Banned due to detected ToR traffic

Post by SkaarjScout » #5610

Byond name: SkaarjScout
Banned by: Automated Ban
Reason: Use of ToR

I had the same issue (resulting in just the same topic I am posting now) about 6 months ago. In short, BYOND (or whatever) detects ToR traffic and applies an autoban even though the proxifying software is specifically set NOT to route BYOND or any BYOND traffic through ToR. How it does what it does remains a mistery for me (though probably it's some executable file that isn't in BYOND/bin folder but needs to be whitelisted anyway, still, I have failed to locate the source of problem after the first autoban). I have never actually used ToR to play SS13, it was never used for bannable or even mischievous activities, and aside from ToR-related issues, my ban record is virginally clean. Thus, I would like to have that ban lifted. Thank you in advance.

I imagine because people can easily use tor to hide their real IP and thus ban evade any IP bans.
