beast.
I suppose you'll excuse my confusion which is based on the fact that
Tor exit node IP addresses are regularly blocked as open proxies :).
You're not alone: I came across a certain amount of confusion whilst I was
looking those up.
In one place there's a notice that Tor users are not welcome on Wikipedia
because of the capacity for anonymous vandalism.
OTOH I also found instructions for Tor users in China to get around the
problem accessing Wikipedia from that country.
Strikes me that the latter would be pointless if the former always held
true...
