Trouble with multiple IPs blocked and banned when trying to access Blockchain through TOR (Tails)

It used to be an occasional thing, some website, usually blockchain.info, wouldn't let me connect and I'd get a message about my IP being blocked or banned or something. It's always happened but pretty rarely. I would just use the switch identity feature in Tails (that does change your IP right?) and every thing would be fine. Latelely it's been getting worse though. One day I have to change identity two or three times before getting access, the next day three or four times, and just now I think I've changed identity at least 10 times and still haven't gotten one that I can get through to blockchain with. It's getting annoying. Is anyone else having this problem or have a solution.

This issue has also seemed to have started around the time and gotten worse with the Agora issues. For those that think it's more than coincidence get the tinfoil and let's hear it! Perhaps the number of people constantly checking transaction confirmations using blockchain has been a factor? Or perhaps there is something sinister afoot.

People have been running malicious TOR exit nodes and MITM attacks to get blockchain.info login details. Check r\bitcoin for recent thefts.

Blockchain.info has blocked access from tor as a result.

use www.unblocksit.es to access blockchain or most sites that block tor

Upgrade your OPSEC - There's been MITM attacks and hacks with users getting their coins jacked while running Tor and accessing B-chain
