Should I block Tor exit nodes?
With the onslaught of cyber-attacks, it is more important than ever before to block TOR (The Onion Router) nodes from communicating with your network. TOR Exit nodes can be used by anonymous attackers from around the globe to launch attacks against networks.
What can an exit node see?
Tor exit nodes can also monitor traffic that passes through them. This means traffic which is not encrypted, such as plain HTTP traffic, can be recorded and monitored. If such traffic contains personally identifiable information, then it can deanonymize you to that exit node.
How do you check if an IP is a Tor node?
Download the list of all exit node IPs from https://check.torproject.org/torbulkexitlist and check whether the IP is in the list. If it returns Address: 127.0. 0.2 , then it's a Tor IP.
Can Tor be detected?
Detecting traffic from the Tor network in web application logs. Tor exit nodes can be detected in a web application's log of connections that have been made to the server, if they include the public source IP address of the transaction initiator.
