Tor Exit Node Detection and Geolocation
Spot anonymous Tor traffic automatically. Know which country it's coming from and why it matters.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.
Action
Tor Exit Nodes Geolocated API
Tool to list active tor exit nodes geolocated by country with carrier info. use when you need to detect or filter anonymous exit node traffic on your site.
Why this helps
Founder doesn't know if suspicious traffic is Tor or legitimate. Manual Tor exit node checking takes time and creates security blind spots.
- Instantly identify if traffic is from Tor exit nodes
- Get geolocation of exit node country for context
- Catch anonymity-seeking attackers faster
- Reduce false positives by understanding Tor vs. VPN vs. residential IP
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Linear public team workspace and Big Data Cloud Tor detection APIs to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a security issue is created with an IP address, check if it's a Tor exit node and add geolocation if it is.'
- 3Select 'Public Team Issue Created' as your trigger.
- 4Set Notis to flag Tor traffic with country geolocation in a comment.
- 5Test by creating a security issue with a known public Tor exit node IP and verify detection and geolocation.
Questions about this workflow
Why would someone use Tor to access my site?
Legitimate reasons: privacy advocates, journalists, people in restrictive countries. Bad reasons: scanning for vulnerabilities, hiding attack origin.
Can we block all Tor traffic?
You can, but it blocks legitimate users. Use this detection to flag Tor users for extra verification, not automatic blocking.
How accurate is the Tor exit node list?
Very accurate. Tor publishes the exit node list publicly, and this data is kept current.
