There&#x27;s no easy solution because Tor refuses to do anything that would allow for anything that works within current technology. This is not a new problem. If the Tor guys really want to stop being frozen out of large parts of the internet they need to<p>1) Tackle abuse<p>2) Go work for one of the large networks for a while so they see things from the other side, and then do a lot of research until they find a solution they know can make everyone happy.<p>In fact Tor have repeatedly gone for solution 3:<p>3) Attempt to publicly shame employees of big networks and get them to lower their abuse defences by implying they&#x27;re idiots who hate privacy, whilst simultaneously demonstrating little understanding of what abuse teams have to deal with. This never works.<p>Tor is a trivial fraction of anonymised traffic to most major networks (VPNs are far more popular). It can be banned entirely with ~zero impact on any large business. Taking approach (3) just annoys the employees and makes them less likely to want to donate free engineering time to the Tor project (because that&#x27;s effectively what they want&#x2F;need). We can see this clearly happening on the linked thread.<p>E.g. comments like this one:<p><i>It&#x27;s also unreasonable to maintain a &quot;reputation&quot; for a Tor exit node.</i><p>... just send a powerful message that Tor isn&#x27;t serious. Sorry for the harsh words, but I&#x27;ve been round the block on this one too. Tor want to run a network that ignores abuse yet is openly welcomed by the worlds biggest content providers. Not gonna happen.
