(warning: geek talk ahead)
Since I changed jobs, some time ago, I no longer had access to IRC. Yesterday, I finally got around to installing a Tor client, and it works dripnificently. Suddenly, I reappeared on #eurofurs. Today, however, all five active irc.furnet.org servers claim that they don't like me because I'm coming from a Tor exit node, and could I please go fuck myself.
I just notice, however, that it intermittently does work for a few seconds, until the server seems to wake up and realize I'm coming through Tor.
Does anyone have a clue as to why
a) it worked fine yesterday,
b) furnet is so afraid of people they can't trace, and
c) if there are other, more friendly servers where I could connect to #eurofurs ?
I suppose I could route the tor exit through a regular server of mine somewhere, but it annoys me no end that they won't accept tor exit nodes.
