[13:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Good morning,
[13:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	Thank you for your message.
[13:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	I am passing the ticket to our senior support team to have a look into and advise.
[13:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	Please note that our Level 3 senior support team (L3) work 08:00 - 22:00 UK time (TZ Europe/London) on standard UK working days. Further responses to this ticket may take some time - including during working hours - and we ask for your patience as more complex investigations may also be required.
[13:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	Thank you for your patience. "
[13:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	"
[13:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	Thank you for contacting Catalyst2 support!
[13:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	Due to how the Tor browser and network work, it's very unreliable and isn't meant to be used by everyday people for normal day-to-day business. Some exit nodes work fine and others don't.
[13:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	At Catalyst2 we don't outright block the use of Tor so this isn't failing because we block Tor IP ranges."
[13:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Unless you have a very specific reason for the use of Tor being able to access the site it's not going to cause legitimate visitors any issues.
[13:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	As always, if you have any other problems, questions or concerns, don't hesitate to get back in touch.
[13:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	lxo: seems some exit nodes might work
[13:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	some don't
[13:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	but two tor users can confirm issues
[13:24]	lxo	have you found any that works?
[13:25]	lxo	ISTM they're bullshitting us
[13:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	can you advise me what to say?
[13:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	seems like BS
[13:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	because 2 out of 2 day it does not work
[13:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	and they say tor is not blocked
[13:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	but at the same time say
[13:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	everyday people don't use it
[13:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	and i need to specify why to allow it
[13:26]	lxo	ask them to name any single tor exit node that is not blocked by them for us to try
[13:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	ok
[13:27]	lxo	your users aren't typical, some need and demand the privacy that Tor offers
[13:27]	schestowitz[TR2]	yes
[13:27]	schestowitz[TR2]	it is a tech site
[13:27]	lxo	if some random exit node blocks the site, Tor will find another path.  but it just hasn't worked from any tor exit node for a very long time
[13:28]	lxo	speaking of "Tor IP ranges" suggests -ENOCLUE.  Tor doesn't get assigned ranges, exit nodes use individual IPs scattered all over the address space
[13:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	that is what i thought
[13:29]	lxo	I guess they might be taken block list ranges from some third party, and that it covers tor exit nodes but they don't even know it
[13:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	they cannot identity which it exists from at all levels
[13:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	*exists
[13:31]	lxo	my own IP address is an exit node, that is also a tor exit node, is inexplicably blocked, so discontinuing my use of tor to visit the site isn't really a way to fix the problem
[13:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	>exits
[13:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	maybe it's some supplier
[13:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	and we can get that supplier to stop blocking tor exit nodes
[13:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	in which case,
[13:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	you help tor users access many more sites
[13:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	when did you first encounter this issue?
[13:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	i want to know when, roughly at least, it changed
