[tor-talk] geocaching.com and okcupid.com doesn't allow access via TOR

[Joel Knighton]

I can confirm that www.geocaching.com, www.waymarking.com, and www.wherigo.com have been abused by someone using Tor. They are currently investigating the abuse and attempting to bring legal action against abusers, so that is likely the reason for a potential block.

All the best,
Joel Knighton
