Oh, that is a problem for people occasionally using Tor locally + a browser.
Do the the same problem appear with using torbrowser instead of using a local tor?

No, only running a relay gets you this problem. I guess they just scrape the consensus and add all ips in it to their blocklist.

Maybe just old tradition, but the way to browse Tor using my Linux distro seem to be running tor as proxy for Firefox, so that was what I initially documented. (I have now updated the page to recommend Tor Browser. And made a bunch of other edits.)

I believe that just starting tor will make it show up on some lists…

My IP address is still blocked from several sites though not running tor at all for two days What is still blocking my IP address? - #6 by Kamomilla

Is there a way to configure standalone tor to only be proxy for local applications - not any type of relay?

Was this really implemented in the LTS branch 0.4.5?

I think so, at least the merge request got merged. But i dont’t know for sure. The current stable branch is 0.4.6 anyway, so maybe just run this.

I was using a user provided 0.4.6, but my distro Mageia prefer LTS, so that is what Mageia wiki page should target.

EDIT: Yes, found in change log this was implemented already in earlier version of 0.4.5. /EDIT
