The NPM registry blocks TOR IPs. What is the best way to evade this?

I want to make progress while using tailsOS, but NPM will not accept tor IPs. How should I evade this? Is there a general-guide on how to evade these anti-spam efforts?

Hi @tornpm, welcome to the forum.

I’ve just tried that URL (https://registry.npmjs.org/react) in Tor Browser on Linux with a variety of exit nodes and it renders the JSON just fine. NPM are not blanket-blocking tor exit node IP’s.

If you can share code for a minimum reproducible example that illustrates the problem perhaps a Tails user here can help figure out what the problem is.
