Blocking Tor traffic with Zen
Zen by Aikido helps you identify and block users who are accessing your application through the Tor network. This feature enhances your security measures by providing visibility and control over Tor-based traffic.
Important: Tor blocking operates independently of the global "Blocking/Detection Mode" setting. When you enable tor blocking, it will always be enforced, even if Zen is in Detection Mode.
Use Cases
🛡️ Block Tor Users: Automatically prevent access from Tor exit nodes when needed for security compliance or risk mitigation
🔒 Meet Compliance: Satisfy regulatory requirements that mandate blocking anonymous proxy traffic
💳 Protect Transactions: Ensure financial transactions come from identifiable, non-anonymous sources
How to block tor traffic
Select a specific app and continue to the Firewall tab. Click the toggle next to "Block Tor Traffic" to enable Tor blocking.
Note that Tor blocking is not immediate; it takes up to a minute for the block to take effect.
