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.

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.

I don't need a proxy, I would just prefer to use one. I don't have anything to hide; this doesn't mean that I should forgo my right to privacy.

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

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

i never said you have anything to hide. you shouldn't expect any website to accommodate to proxies because that's not how the internet works.

Good VPNs generally keep logs on connections

this isn't true, don't spread misinformation

Re: IP bans?

if you do nothing wrong you have nothing to hide

This is not the best way to view our current problems with privacy.

There are certain aspects of a person's life that should be kept private, preventing problems that could potentially be hard or impossible to erase.

@OP Simply using Tor shows that you are actively trying to cover your tracks. I'm not saying that it's bad, or wrong. However, it's not discreet in the least. In fact, it can easily turn more eyes towards your direction.

As for trouble with the game, I'm no authority here, however your bouncing connections could cause trouble in the future. I'm not saying that it will, but your activity is being logged. You might be confused for another, someone who is potentially abusing FFR. Another point of concern is your account's safety. It will be harder to prove your ownership of the account, or provide believable alibis, if the IP being logged has also been used on various other accounts.

I honestly doubt that you will run into any sort of issue, but you should keep this in mind.

Oooh it's been awhile since I've seen a deep web reference.

Obviously this guy is here to be a child predator..why else would he want to browse anonymously? Sarcasm

Precisely why I made the topic. Maybe I should have just sent a private message directly to an admin...
