Should you use tor with irc? reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2018-04-06 20:09 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- yunocchi · 2018-04-06 20:11 Be careful when using Tor on IRC, some networks classify Tor as an open proxy and ban it due to abuse. You should consider using a VPN service instead if you want to help mask your IP address when connecting to IRC. Otherwise, it's *acceptable* to use, but I don't really recommend it.
