The worst thing that can happen is that you lose your anonymity or become very easy to track. The fundamental purpose of Tor is to provide anonymity and mitigate tracking.
For Tor users, "blocking" is not the worst thing that can happen. It doesn't address who was trying to connect to Tor, why they wanted to use Tor, or what they were trying to do. Blocking someone from connecting to Tor only stops the immediate connection. However, sometimes "blocking" is not desirable. Any company or nation-state that wants to stop people from using Tor has everything needed to detect and block Tor connections. In this "Tor 0day" blog series, I have detailed different ways to detect direct and indirect (bridge) connections to the Tor network and methods to harvest the list of "unlisted" bridges.
