is trisquel.info trying to block Tor users?
Hello everyone.
I use Tor to do my web browsing. A few days ago, I downloaded the new TBB, 3.5
Ever since I did that, I can't access the website, it always gives me a 403 error message, and it gives a link to project honeypot (something like that).
I asked in the Tor Blog, and someone said it was the website trying to block the new Tor users. I can access the website using my old TBB, but not the new one, so I would like to know if any measures have been taken to prevent Tor users from accessing the website.
And if possible, I would like to ask the admins to correct the situation by preventing honeypot from affecting Tor users. There has been no abuse here by Tor users so far, so there is no reason we can't use the forum :(
Thanks
The site needs to be updated to whitelist the latest TBB user. Can you
post your useragent?
(You should be able to find it by typing "about:" in the location bar).

I believe this is what you were asking. Right?
So... how long until the new TBB is allowed in here? :P
Kidding aside, it shouldn't happen, I mean, if people download the latest TBB they have to keep using the old (unsafer) one until the website whitelist the new one. That is, in my opinion, not the best way to run things...

Yes, this was what I needed, thanks. :-) I just posted on the
Trisquel-devel mailing list, so it should hopefully be whitelisted soon.
I personally don't like the whitelist approach, but on the other hand it
seems to be somewhat effective at keeping spam out (from what I've
noticed anyway).

thanks!
Hope it get's fixed soon :)
Maybe the trisquel project could arrange some way to, with help from the tor project, to automatically whitelist the newer TBB when they make a release. Possible?
So... I still can't access trisquel.info with the new version of TBB.
Anything else needed to allow us in here? I would (and did try initially) whitelist the IP manually but the problem is that Tor uses different IP addresses everytime, so it is not a solution.
Hope it get's fixed soon.
