Ask PG: Accessing HN via Tor

40 pointsby jnhnum1almost 12 years ago
It seems that Hacker News is inaccessible via Tor. Is this because of manual blocking of exit nodes, and if so can this blocking be lifted (at least for read access)?

I just tried this myself to verify that I couldn&#x27;t reach it through Tor and I couldn&#x27;t either. I agree that there should be at least read access for people browsing with Tor.<p>Also, I would be curious to hear from PG (or others) what went into the decision making process to make this site (or others) not accessible from Tor.

I&#x27;d hesitate to use any of your existing regular-internet accounts over Tor. Start with a fresh browser.
