Is it _still_ possible to create account with Tor Browser?

dugan's answer in post #27 here is correct, and I have posted multiple times that we do not in any way explicitly block TOR.

I understand that cloudflare by default has settings to block tor and has optional onion routing. Can you confirm to what level the LQ cloudflare config blocks tor (Is it still default?) or if the onion routing is enabled?

I'm going to ask a more direct question...

Jeremy, has the registration system been tested to confirm whether or not it works from Tor?

TOR is explicitly whitelisted and Onion Routing is enabled.

We in no way block TOR (or treat it differently than any other traffic). Note that does mean TOR exit nodes are subject to the same anti-spam measures as any other IP address, so may individually be blocked temporarily automatically based on a variety of factors.

So this means that google blocks me, not linuxquestions.
This is not ideal.
I still haven't succeeded.
But at least I can still login with this account.
Thank you to those who try to help me.
