Hmmmm... I think we do not block TOR IPs. Also, you should use the /ip endpoint as it directly provides the IP address. Can you take a look, please?

ipinfo.io blocks TOR IPs. I have attached screenshot for reference.

Hmm, that is interesting. Okay, let me talk to our engineers. There is a non-zero chance it is a bug.

@rainbow-hue can you see if you can curl google.com?

We do not block TOR IP addresses, but our infrastructure is based on GCP. Therefore, if Google blocks any IP addresses, they cannot access our servers. However, these blocks usually occur when Google associates an IP address with a country under US sanctions, such as Iran.

when i try to curl google.com, it redirects to a captacha page.
previously, when using ipinfo.io to get the ip it used to give out the ip one or two times and then block altogether, but now it just shows a 403 forbidden page all the time.
