Hi All,
We have recently started to block ToR users to our site. What we want to be able to do is serve a custom page from Netstorage that explains to ToR users that if they wish to continue to use a standard browser. The current behavior is pretty poor as you just get an access denied message.
Thanks all.
Hi,
Good thought to have a special message to someone getting blocked for accessing via TOR.
You can use the widget to add a new rule and choose "Site Failover" template.
In the match section, we need to add the request being denied by Tor Exit node network list (assuming thats how you blocked access for TOR). However, it needs to be added as an advanced metadata.
I would recommend to contact your account team and get a PS case created for this.
The only way to do this yourself, would be to manually grab the ip addresses/CIDR's from the TOR network list and make a match on a 403 Response along AND the copied IP's/CIDR's. The TOR network list is updated frequently. so this solution is not the most flexible.
Like Aniket mentioned, there is defiantly a solution for this, but would require PS and advanced metadata.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies, very helpful. I am working with our account team on this and will let you know how I get on.
Thanks

Is there any plan to make a match:network-list in PM available self-serviceable?
thanks//

Hi All,
I have an update on this. We have now successfully deployed our Tor Customer page. This had to be done by PS but looking in to the config is relativly simply xml. This is created using the advanced template that only Akamai staff have access to. I asked out PS guy to save it as a user template which he did. However when I try to deploy to other properties I get access denied. This is back with Akamai now to see if they can make this user editable.
