    Very interesting, I think I’ll probably be using Tor for my Lemmy usage from now on, or at least a VPN since this does have the potential to be used maliciously in personal DDoS attacks.

      Your IP isn’t a secret. There plenty of ways to get it. And this one doesn’t even link it to your identity

        It’s not about identification it’s about being disconnected in a DoS by someone with faster internet (until I can get a new one, dynamic IP rotates).

          DoS is expensive. Who the hell would spend money just to get you disconnected? Nobody cares about your connection

      Annoyingly, lemmy.world blocks tor. They should host a tor onion service

        Are you sure about that because I can open and view lemmy.world just fine in Tor, I think what they mean is federation between hidden services i.e. lemmyinstanceoniondomain.onion is blocked or just not implemented.

            I haven’t gotten Cloudflare captchas on lemmy.world yet, Haven’t tried using an app with Tor, as a general rule it’s best to use Tor through the browser since it has features to reduce fingerprinting and MITMs
