.@freenodestaff an update on the tor services at this point would be appreciated. i've largely stopped using your service due to this.
Due to ongoing abuse we have had to temporarily disable tor-sasl hidden service. We'll provide an update on its status as soon as possible.

@JetBlackCloud the underlying problems are still being worked on, but we can't estimate when it might be restored yet -
.
@freenodestaff@JetBlackCloud I appreciate you're working to fix this but why are u being so shady abt it all? A public update is necessary -
@CaptainKurtis nothing shady, just a low priority service and our volunteer effort is limited. Changing the way things work takes time. -
.
@freenodestaff All we're all asking for is a public update & an explanation on the blockers you have to implementation so others can help. -
.
@freenodestaff Volunteer efforts wouldn't be as limited if you explained what type of help you need & asked for contributions.@torproject -
.
@freenodestaff For a group with the word "free" in your name I can't believe that you're saying that allowing@torproject is low priority. -
@CaptainKurtis https://blog.freenode.net/2009/09/free-as-in-freenode/ … may set things out better than a tweet - 5 more replies

@freenodestaff It's 1 thing to disable hidden services. It's another to block all@torproject users trying to access http://irc.freenode.net -
@CaptainKurtis@torproject That block isn't new. Connections via exit nodes have a multitude of risks and little benefit to our communities. -
@CaptainKurtis@torproject the hidden service is more in line with what we need. when we can restore it without further risk, we will do so -
.
@freenodestaff Your@torproject blockade is untenable. Please explain the problems you are having so we can all help find a solution for u.

@freenodestaff so, will you ever fix this? If not, perhaps stop advertising this service. -
@MarinosYannikos that is our intention, and why we have not ruled out restoring it, we are just not in a position to do so yet

@freenodestaff If tor-sasl is going to be down awhile, maybe update the website to reflect it. I just wasted 30 mins trying to connect :/ -
@alinuxuser apologies for that. We're still trying to figure out the best course of action

@freenodestaff ??? I am told it was a kind of weird Tor-SASL Auth DoS? In the interim, you handed them victory: Nobody can connect with Tor. -
lLets expose an attack surface and call that freenodes victory? Quit being lazy. Contribute a znc bnc to freenode ffs
