IP bans?

[Celos]

I use Tor browser for most of my internet browsing if I can get away with it, but some times when I connect I get an IP address that's been banned by the site. Closing and restarting the browser fixes the issue most times, but I'm mostly curious if this could eventually be bad news for me, if I continue to keep playing.

Re: IP bans?

You should seriously be using a different browser than Tor

Re: IP bans?

You're right, I should! But I won't.

Re: IP bans?

Any particular reason why? FFR is about the only time you'd need to worry about it.

Or grab the standalone?

As to why I use Tor browser?

I do use the standalone, but sometimes I'm even unable to log-in due to the IP address I receive. Basically, what I'm asking is, am I okay with using Tor, or should I worry about getting an account ban as well?

edit 2: Oh, spambots. I see. I solemnly swear that I am up to no good not a spambot. :P

The monitoring is often carried out covertly and may be completed by, or at the behest of governments, by corporations, criminal organizations, or individuals. It may or may not be legal and may or may not require authorization from a court or other independent government agency.

like, it's a blatant invasion of privacy rofl. regardless if someone has something to hide or not, privacy is a right, not a privilege.

Re: IP bans?

It can be bad news if you do that. I recommend if you really wanna. You can spoof your IP address.

Re: IP bans?

But then again. Why do you wanna do this for?

this isn't an answer. all you did is post who uses it, not why you need to use a proxy. if you're really that concerned about privacy, then you're doing it wrong by using tor instead of a vpn anyways.
