I know there was a ddos attack a while back, but it would be nice to access and be able to log in to this site again using Tails/Tor without giving location away. Using a VPN after Tor on Tails is a security risk and is difficult to figure out how to install on Tails for most people. Beginning with it’s creation and right up to the attack, Tor exit nodes weren’t blocked. Now they still are. Opening it up again might increase the userbase. Using sites like proxysite.com via Tor only works to read posts here about 1 out of 10 attempts and never allows log ins here.
Is this on by default after v1.5.0?
If you install with ansible it should be included by default. You can check if your nginx config contains the cache lines. There is also a line you can uncomment to see the cache status with each request.
