Title: Is TOR allowed?
Post by: phd-ph on October 27, 2022, 09:10:46 AM
Hi admins! I recently registered and soon after received the notification that I was banned permanently. I can only assume that this is because I am using the TOR network for anonymity everywhere.
I was able to login again using a different TOR connection and browser instance.

Is this a bug or are users who connect via TOR banned?

My bet is that TOR routed your traffic through a banned IP. We often ban IPs used for spamming the forum, could be you were unlucky and hit one of these.
