It appears that First Tech Federal Credit Union is blocking all Tor nodes (including non-exit nodes) from connecting to their website, http://www.firsttechfed.com This seems ... misguided on their part. Blocking exit nodes is one thing, but preventing random people who happen to run a Tor middle node from seeing anything on their website is rather over the top. They do not appear to be listed on https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/doc/ListOfServicesBlocking... yet. If other people also observe the blocking, they should probably be added. I wanted to check with the list to make sure it is not just me, and get suggestions about the best way to approach First Tech and encourage them to re-consider this overly broad blocking.
