IP address blocked on certain site
Using latest stable Vidalia / Tor bundle for Win (Vista x64).
Never really had this prob before installing latest ver, but could be
coincidence. When using Tor/ Torbutton, only one site gave message (to
the effect) "the IP address you're using has been determined to be
abusing this site ? / server ?. Access denied."
Then it showed the full IP address. I could never get that site to stop
showing that same, blocked address, no matter what I did.
Tried closing the tab in Firefox.
Then tried closing Tor & Firefox, restarting. Same msg from site, w/
same IP address shown. Also, tried refreshing the Tor network, so all
new nodes. Made no diff.
After doing the above (& site still showing old IP address when I opened
a new browser tab, then tried site again) I checked my ACTUAL current
exit IP address by going to a Tor check site. As I figured, it showed a
diff IP address than the blocked site was still showing, at the very
same time as I checked at Tor check site.
Somehow that old IP address was being stored somewhere, even though it
was no longer the exit address being used in Tor network. How / why did
the site keep showing the old address after doing all those steps?
Is there an easier way to deal w/ this problem than the many steps I
took? Thanks.
