I have Wordfence on some sites. It seems that Wordfence blocklists certain exit nodes from Tor if it associates those nodes with bad activity. Fair enough, I guess, though a shame that sometimes Tor users will sometimes get bounced as a result.

If it happens to someone, they can start a new Tor circuit to find an exit node that isn’t blocklisted.

Beating the bounds:

> the practice used by many English villages of walking the perimeter of their land to identify any fences or hedges that had encroached upon their shared wealth.

> In our times, beating the bounds may initially involve direct action resistance and civil disobedience against enclosures, and attempts to “de-enclose” them.

Damn, after refreshing my Firefox profile, I see that Omnibear no longer exists in the Firefox plugin repo and seems to be a bit abandoned. I think you can just download it and install locally. But if it’s abandoned, maybe time to look for something different.
