Extension talk:TorBlock

= better documentation needed =

Can someone explain where and how this system gets the blacklist information? I enabled this extension and it worked for awhile and then it slowed down my Wiki dramatically. I get the feeling there were some external addresses the system was querying to get the Tor block list that became invalid or unavailable and it nerfed my whole MW installation. Better documentation needs to be outlined on how this system works; how it gets the blacklist, how often, and the various ways in which it can be referenced. For example, there is no proper documentation on how to load the Exit nodes outside of MW, or if they're done in MW how often they're done and how can this be tweaked to improve performance? This extension should not be green-lit until it's better documented and stable. It is not ready for prime time - there appears to be no way to configure the server to deliver the blacklist. --Mabu 01:16, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Is it possible to log attempts at edits from Tor? --Tahnok 21:20, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Usage?
I'm considering enabling this on my wiki. But, just out of curiosity, I'd be interested to hear some user "testimonials" from people that have implemented it. Did it cut down your spam significantly? Thanks. --Duke33 18:56, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

I had to disable this extension. It dramatically slowed down my entire Wiki and it took me awhile to isolate where the problem was coming from. There appears to be little to no documentation on the proper configuration of this tool as well. It's a shame. Someone should better document and verify that this plugin actually works because I'm not convinced it does.--Mabu 00:42, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
