OkCupid blocking Tor :(
Until a couple days ago, OkCupid worked fine with Tor, though some nodes were blocked from time to time (maybe with some time period expiry based individual IP blocking?). Anyway, today OkCupid appears to be completely blocking Tor as I am unable to find a node that works (and I will retry on the weekend to be extra sure). Clearnet works. You can see the frontpage ok, but they are now timing out after you enter your user and pass and hit 'Sign in'. They are forward thinking enough to accept Bitcoin :) But this new blocking prevents users from expressing themselves openly with potential partners out of fear of their work, etc snooping their thoughts :( Let alone that you are even single by visiting via HTTPS (which by the way, they do not fully encrypt everything, so users are at both content and visiting risk there too). Or not taking care in protecting yourself from potential harm. Finding a mate is the most basic of human causes and needs :) So it just seems so disheartening that users who would benefit the most from being able to be open with each other now cannot. At least until OkCupid begins to see the light.
Perhaps Tor Support/Assist can reach out and make a case for Tor to OkCupid. Thank you.
Ps: To other Tor and OkCupid users reading this, my voice alone would certainly not be enough to sway a site, so please join me (and hopefully Tor Support/Assist) in reaching out to OkCupid. OkCupid seems quite progressive so I do have hope! Since we are now blocked from logging in, there are some various contact methods to be found here: https://www.okcupid.com/about
I would love to have and find other Tor users on OkCupid. And from searching out their site, some good profiles do mention Tor and some related topics like privacy, anonymity, freedom, press, rights, and related technology and sites and apps and things. It is a perfect place for those natural interests to be both shared and used :)
