    Question Accounts being frozen after logging in via Tor

    Just wondering if anyone has experienced this lately?

    I have a VPN but I usually use Tor when I just want to quickly login and check an account out.

    Over the last week or so several accounts have been frozen that I used Tor to access. On a couple of the accounts I did use Tor to login a few times (each time with a new identity) and not just the first initial try, so perhaps the different locations accessing the account caused it but I've never seen that before?

    The only explanation I can come up with is that the accounts were inactive and then suddenly had been logged into from varying "locations". On the other hand there are accounts that I have used Tor to login to many times, however not very frequently and so possibly not enough to raise any alarms.


    Does anyone have anything to say or suggest or any thoughts?

    This can happen if you use popular VPN connections with similar IP's, sharing between multiple users. This will most likely set off flags so you would want more private proxies that you know no one would be using.

    I lost about 20 of my 240 accounts today for suspicious activity. I use HotSpot Shield Elite and I really can't make any connection to why to be honest. As they were frozen it was ones I logged into since Sunday, but only certain ones not all of them. I cant gather why.

    because of those issues today i logged into one account only that was junk and sit on it and it just got frozen. So i must be IP banned? Any way you guys know to get out of it?

    I just logged into a new account with Tor last night so far it hasn't been frozen but that's gonna suck if it does.

    Guess I chose a bad time to buy I have NordVPN. Should I be going to into the same connection every time (e.g. 1024 vs 1112)? It just autoconnects to a random one when I enable it, and I'm sure how to select one individually. Just really don't want to lose these accounts.

    Sometimes a VPN can change IP mid use, or even be connecting somewhere entirely else than where it says. I think it's a good idea to check your ip with google before logging in. And also like mentioned certain vpn ip's are flagged I reckon.

    I lost one empty shell with 50M

    Unregistered email too so I can't even open a ticket

    I use paid VPN on the same location for each of my accounts (I don't have that many)

    I think this might be it, I very recently got hit through Opera VPN, had 3 accts iced this way. Every other account that I was more careful with (either by using solely my own purchased dedicated IPs, of which I have assigned one per account, with firefox proxies and botting) are safe and well despite having exchanged goods with the iced accounts.

    The usual susp. activity Joe.

    I figured that was a likely reason, but does anyone know how many IPs are handed out by Tor though as I didn't use my VPN on these.

    That raises a good point though, I was actually thinking earlier how many of us share the same IPs as we all seem to use the same few VPNs, it will definitely be happening....

    The ones I just logged into one time seem ok, it's the ones I re-visited that seem to have been flagged.
