IP bans?
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

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?

edit: Ah, I can't post urls yet. torproject.org/about/torusers.html.en 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 Last edited by Celos; 11-23-2014 at 03:21 PM.. |

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?
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.

Re: IP bans?
to be honest Tor is only really good for if you want to keep yourself private from the website administration/moderation/owners, as well as casual individuals that can be interacted with. If someone truly wanted to track you down, they would be able to find the Tor exit node that you're connecting to for your session, and back trace you to find your original IP, or open up a fake exit node, put your IP into queue with it, and have a backdoor to your IP.
And of course, it's easier for governments to do these kinds of things because they have the resources to do so, and there are quite a couple of Tor exit nodes that are ran by the government. If you're checking deep web websites, it's even worse because multiple governments have their hands in pockets for popular websites over there. So on this website Tor doesn't even really block you from much because administration doesn't care unless you plan on cheating, and people don't care period. And even then, I haven't really seen administration hand out an IP ban for cheating. Last edited by gold stinger; 11-23-2014 at 06:46 PM.. |

But you're correct, a VPN would be significantly better than using a Tor browser. Good VPNs also cost money and generally keep logs on connections, too! Perhaps once I get a pay raise at work, I'll invest in a VPN. I really don't mind the slower speeds, most of my low-bandwidth browsing is hardly affected by the use of Tor. edit: I'm not even good enough to cheat, I'd be caught instantly. :I Last edited by Celos; 11-23-2014 at 08:43 PM.. |

using a vpn would be worse because then you'd be paying actual money to stay anonymous while you play a flash based rhythm game
