    Baron,

    Not sure there is anything you can do. Just noticed that if one is using the Tor browser, sometimes the ET system comes back and says a given IP is banned. Usually if I try it again, since Tor uses distributed contributed servers in some sort of random manner, I then get one that has not been banned.

    FYI
     
  2. You can specify an exit node from the Tor client end using ExitNodes in the torrc file. Find an exit node that's not banned and use that one.

    Silly to use the Tor browser to access ET, this isn't a porno site that you need to hide your network traffic from anybody. ;) More importantly, it will often duplicate your I.P. with someone else, for instance I've seen the nitro username come up a couple of times "sharing" an I.P. with banned users. If I wasn't familiar with you that would have gotten you banned too.

    I just imagine Nitro in a Starbucks parking lot, using their public wifi with Linux on a USB stick via VPN wearing a disguise, you know, just "in case" they are after him... :)

    Here is Nitro, entering Starbucks because he needs to pee:
