If I'm not mistaken, in order to use a proxy server here you need to have a supporter account.
-------------------- "Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story."

It is difficult but not impossible to register with TOR. You can't make your first 50 or so posts if I remember correctly and things are still the same, but after a certain point you can use TOR. You should be able to with your post count.
You don't need a supporter account to use a proxy or TOR though I would encourage people who use TOR to become supporters for HTTPS access, and to use that only when accessing the site over TOR or other similar networks where a malicious exit node could be reading everything.

I remember Ythan said a few months ago that he blocks known TOR exit nodes for registration, but allows them for posting. He didn't mention a 50 post thing, but maybe omitted it? A chain of public proxies should work like TOR for registration anonymity, there's just too many to theoretically block. Don't use a browser add on like "hide my ass" expecting anonymity because they keep logs to unhide your ass.

At least back in 2007 when I registered there was something like a 50 post requirement for free access. I'm pretty sure it is still the same. If I remember correctly there were a few forums where you can post even with 0 posts on TOR. Grow Logs was at some point one of them.
I'm pretty sure we still ban registration from known proxies or common IPs including some wireless providers which route all traffic through common IPs. Ythan has written about this in the past few months on reddit and mentioned plans to change it.
Might be worth asking a Moderator of this forum to move this to WA&F so you get Admin input on the current situation.

Oh yes. Some forums don't unlock until a certain number of posts, ODD and the gathering forum I think. I misunderstood, thinking you meant a 50 post requirement to post with TOR, not to access some of the forums.

No I mean 50 posts for posting in all forums except Grow Logs not the forum restrictions.
Pub, TPE, EG, etc. were all accessible, but I got a "you can't post because you are on TOR, n00b" error most of the time I tried to post until somewhere around 50 posts.
