rest.bitcoin.com blocks Tor

Hi,

It would be nice if rest.bitcoin.com allowed Tor users. There's a couple Clouflare settings for this, but for the most part you'd want to add the T1 region to the whitelist.

This would allow [url=https://sporestack.com/]SporeStack[/url] to have users pay for Hidden Hosting with Bitcoin Cash.

Thank you.

Looks like it's actually the user agent. Tor Browser works, but curl or Python requests gets a 403.
