Describe the bug

Certain parts of the Modrinth website break when using Tor to proxy traffic to modrinth.com. So far I've noticed the following parts of the site malfunction:

• Pretty much all of the creator dashboard

• Uploading versions

• Searching for projects (!)

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure the browser to use Tor as a proxy
2. Visit modrinth.com
3. Try searching for projects
4. See breakage (empty page, errors in console)

Expected behavior

The site works normally.

Additional context

I use LibreWolf (currently version 127) on Linux.

It doesn't seem like a bug. It was likely set up to prevent DoS attacks.

Closing as the person who opened this is now a ghost. I don't believe we actively block TOR or anything ourselves, but yes it's true that CloudFlare may be blocking suspicious requests to help us avoid DDoS attacks.
