The Trouble with CloudFlare
Maybe I&#x27;m a cranky, old-school network operator, but this is a very cut and dry problem. Tor runs a network that is rife with abuse and fraud. Tor needs to clean up and police its network. If it doesn&#x27;t, it will be put on blacklists and customers will take active measures to block traffic from it.<p>This is no different than a network or AS that is spammer friendly, botnet friendly, carder friendly, etc. All of those networks eventually end up on blacklists or Spamhaus lists and their efficacy goes down. Eventually, the network dies out and the criminals move somewhere else. Yes, it&#x27;s a game of whack-a-mole, but it&#x27;s proven to work well.<p>I know Tor doesn&#x27;t want to be in the network regulation business, but they need to be if they want their product to thrive. Otherwise, good bye Tor.
