## List of RBL Blocking Services
|
|
|
|
|
|
An RBL is a "realtime blackhole list" which is a DNS query-based list used to tag IP addresses as being malicious or as being an origin of spam. Due to the inability to filter or monitor Tor user behavior across the entire network, many Tor exit relay IPs will be marked as threatening (even indiscriminately) which means many legitimate web surfers will be incidentally included in such blocks. This is a subproject to routinely search for and clear Tor relay nodes from RBL and RBL-like lists.

If you run a web site on Cloudflare, and you don't want Tor users to see captchas, then whitelist the "T1" country code in the [Access Rules](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/217074967-How-do-I-control-access-to-my-site-) of the Cloudflare Firewall app. See [this article](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/203306930-Does-CloudFlare-block-Tor-) for more information.
|
|
|
The best option is not using Cloudflare at all. There are many alternative self-hosting options. See [The Great Cloudwall](./doc/TheGreatCloudwall) for more information.
