Re: [Lynx-dev] [lynx.isc.org] You are apparently blocking Tor users (and others), probably damaging reputation

Perhaps this question shows where I am unknowledgeable‎ about Tor, but how 
would a .onion mirror prevent abuse?

It was pretty much stated th‎at the exit node was blocked due to abusive 
behavior; wouldn't a .onion mirror have the same issue (or maybe worse)?

A possible workaround would be to setup a .onion mirror serving lynx binaries.
With possible signature, hashes, ... served by lynx.isc.org.

PS: adce4170d57b7c20: write to me, I will forward you a .tbz as mail
