Is Tor Suite Malicious Software?


I am wondering why LQ blocks Tor browser access to LQ?
What's wrong with using Tor?

Here are two previous threads:

LQ does not block TOR, but your issue could be due to some of the exit nodes being listed as spam sources.

I've mentioned it in previous threads, but:

* LQ does not specifically block TOR in any way.
* If you're logged in, we actually make an effort to ensure you can use TOR without any issues.

however tor-bundle will block cookies

and it might make loging in a bit "fun"

but you should have no issues in reading the site , other than it will be rather SLOW to load

Then there are the exit nodes that are on the SPAM "hot sheets"
( reset the link and get a new exit node )

Thanks for clarification.
Indeed Tor drops cookies and I have to log in on every LQ access.
Well, will log in every time.
