I was playing around with the idea of using Tor to get around IP blocks. I played around a bit with code but the Tor binary dependency was a bit much for my use case. Curious to know if anyone else tried this?

Everyone else has the same idea which is why it often makes sense to block Tor outright.
Yep. Tor gateways are usually included along with VPNs and AWS ips in most basic ip blocklists.
I don't like those attempts. Tor is easily detectable and those attempts just make Tor network banned from website, hurting legitimate Tor users.
