I'm using Tor to fetch and send emails since quite some time but never reached the point where I didn't get any 'Suspicious sign in prevented' emails from google anymore. I got used to it and occasionally verified if the IP address in question was an exit node at the given time. Yesterday google decided to lock my account (not the first time) even though I used your described procedure (2) a while ago and hoped that I should be fine now. Did google revisit it's procedures or is this expected behaviour even after following your described procedure (2) and with "relaxed security checks"? As several times before - I was able to unlock my account answering the security question, but this is becoming a continuous burden. kind regards, tagnaq -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF4EAREKAAYFAlGqI1QACgkQyM26BSNOM7bivQEApDjT/TkJSXNFzihumDwa13Rp El+x7zALXG5BYHU1wJEBALUq+iypqcNCqHYryjYH0r9zP33geXpNZk+2szWdmXAw =SJeW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
