Tor Blocker free WordPress plugin
FIX: Google crawlers aren’t blocked any more.
IMPORTANT: Development of this PoC plugin is over ( there are performance and security issues with it ). Please use https://wordpress.org/plugins/pike-firewall instead!
IMPORTANT: On update always deactivate plugin, update the code then activate again e.g. all plugin settings will be lost. This will be the case until we add all of the planned features and when we turn to UI/UX development this won’t be the case.
Most of the time Tor exit nodes and another .onion web proxies are used to enumerate vulnerabilities of our online product, to perform attack or to be used as a spam source.
