Unless there is no data-service which handles & checks (!) the ip?s and ip-ranges for proxies, I wouldn?t recommend to use this on boards with >500 members.
This is exactly the problem! The system falsely detects certain mobile carrier proxy IPs as Tor exit nodes. Therefore, you can't turn off these false detections without turning off Tor detection altogether. Personally, I could get by if there were a way to whitelist IP ranges. But it appears that there isn't. It's really a shame because this system has tremendous potential. But as it stands, auto blocking the registration efforts of legitimate potential members stands to discourage them from ever trying to register again. This problem really needs to be worked out in order to make this an outstandingly useful and dependable add-on.

It also seems difficult to get the developer to address these concerns for some reason
