What is privacyfoundation.de?

One of my spammers had the hostname

gpftor6.privacyfoundation.de

What's this, and should I just ban the whole thing rather than this one account in it?

The tor in gpftor4 gives a clue, the Tor project is an anonymizer.

Read this page on wikipedia to find out more.

Yep, I don't allow, and ZB Block by default, doesn't allow TOR to register on a board.

Re: What is privacyfoundation.de?

Also, at least one of the TOR nodes is on what I consider to be a 'hack box host', don't remember whether it's InternetServiceTeam or NetDirekt.  I allow TOR nodes through, but I have a DENY FROM range for anything coming from server farms like those.  Hell will freeze over before I allow either of those two farms access.

Funny thing: we're hosted with a company that buys server space from ThePlanet (Houston, TX), but I have the IP range for ThePlanet blocked, since we'd had several spammers register via their address range.  I had to poke an ALLOW FROM hole in it for our own server.
