# Tor check plugin

A plugin to check if the ip address of the request is a Tor exit-node if the user searches for `tor-check`. It fetches the tor exit node list from https://check.torproject.org/exit-addresses and parses all the IPs into a list, then checks if the user’s IP address is in it.

Enable in `settings.yml`:

    enabled_plugins:
      ..
      - 'Tor check plugin'
