I’m surprised that Discourse doesn’t do this already (especially since most Tor users trying to access forums are likely bypassing previous suspensions), but is there a way to block Tor users from being able to register on my forum?

One particular user is using Tor to bypass any IP bans and fingerprinting restrictions over and over again. It’s become a _massive_ headache to deal with them… 😣
