So I just got and started using Tor, and'uh... what's it do? blink.gif I meant, I know it distributes my connection through a series of random relay points to establish anonymity online, but like... I s'pose a better question would be, how do I know it's working? blink.gif

how does slashdot see through tor?

i don't believe it

i was using tor for a while, hit up slashdot one day, turned tor off the next day, and my actual ip was banned from slashdot, even though i have an account and shitz. i emailed them asking "doubleyoutee-eff" and they said the most likely reason, as long as i wasn't being a douchebag, was that i was using tor.

don't know the specifics, but one and one appear to equal ban in this case.

WAIT. I'm not finished.
