    Are proxies OK to use?

    Couldn't find this in the rules. Are we ok to use proxies or the tor browser here?

      You do realize, of course, that by using a third party Tor or proxy, you're simply moving where the logs wind up?

      But if you want to, and have one you trust, you go right ahead. No rules against it, and even if there were, they'd be awfully hard to enforce.
      The difference between a 'citizen' and a 'subject' is the right, and responsibility, to bear arms.

        Just double checking - got in trouble elsewhere for doing it. (Just so you know why I'm asking, not looking to get the tar and feathers out or anything )

          Carry on, my wayward son. Just make sure you understand what using Tor or a proxy is actually doing or not doing for you.

            So you want to hide who you are? You got banned 2 days after joining another LARGE group, for poking/hacking around trying to find stuff.

            You couldnt even post a welcome in the intro. Like the other group.. WHO are you?

              A sure sign someone is either a returning banned user or that they are running multiple accounts is they will try to hide behind a proxy. Using them here is not a good idea. If you have to use one for any reason, let us know that you're doing it and why.

                pm sent to blacksmithden.

                No, I've actually been on the OTHER LARGE GROUP (that shall not be named? O_O) for quite a while. No, I'm not banned there, just got chided for tor use. Thanks for the assumption.

                FYI, these forums are blocked on many networks. If I want to get on from any other place except home, I have to use a proxy or tor. I asked if it's going to be a problem specifically because it's not in the rules here, if the mods find my reasons not to be sufficient, so be it.

                  Bogart is that you? Hmm Joined on the 5th, got banned ( pinked ) for using a proxy on another site on the 7th, Then you show up here on the 8th, no introduction post, Same as other site. Who doesn't join a new site without saying welcome?...... But if your soo worried about proxy then what you got to hide?

                  Then talk about how you got in trouble for using a proxy on another. Its pretty good assumption that you are the same person.

                    Deploying an open free to use proxy server is, far and away, the best way to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack, evesdrop on a stream or introduce a virus from an apparently trusted source.

                    Here's a clue: If you are not paying for a product, you are the product.

                        Not the first forum I join and my experience is that people do not introduce themselves. First time I saw that was the OTHER forum where it is a requirement for ee.

                        <shrug> RobertMcC, I'm getting a distinct sense of hostility from you. if you enjoy playing detective, have fun.

                              Yup Bogart... I better not say anything negative or report me a insult. Well you joined here the day after you were banned from a site. Then talking about the same thing you got banned for. Don't need to be captain obvious to realize its you. I don't play well with trolls. Your very first post on another group was
                              So you want to try to intimidate a road rager in a car by showing your little knife?

                              LOL

                              Why half ass it with a kbar? Get a samurai sword so you look like a total ####ing retard.
                              Then you got into a confrontation with another member, said some real stupid stuff, You got banned from another site and then come here and what you expect not to be caught?
