They might deny or ask for you give more data about your account.

So if you have a fake account with random info, better write the info before trying to log by TOr or VPN

Yes. Exactly.

I had this happen recently. Logged into an old account from a new IP addy. Of course, I could not remember the details and I was unable to regain access to that account.
Its a problem... its not easy, maybe your account is lost :/ (no delete)


Its not a biggie. I was using the account only for filtering purposes from my main account.

I'm not fond of gmail reading my mail. They must find it very boring.  The main thing is I know they will still be operating next week ... next month ... next year.

I would be more concerned about a third party hacking my mail. Gmail has good security measures.

Why are you even using Gmail if you're so concerned about privacy?

Just using gmail over VPN worked well for me but after I sent a couple of emails, gmail locked my account and showed me a mandatory mobile phone registration form which I couldn't skip.

Gmail + just receiving emails + VPN = Ok
Gmail + sending emails + VPN = Mandatory SMS verification after sending some emails
Gmail + sending emails + VPN + registered mobile phone number = Ok

I'd be careful about logging into your gmail on TOR if it has sensitive information as TOR exit nodes can be compromised.

I tried several times but each time my IP was flagged and I had to pay in BTC to remove the EVIL.
That's on Bitcointalk, he asks about Gmail.

You will bot be banned but you will receive a notification in gmail that your account is being used from someplace else.
I got that one asking for "Is is you?". But i would not check mails or stuff over tor i prefer a paid vpn instead.

what is Tor? i havent heard about it? is it a private network?

Tor (The Onion Router) is software that lets you somewhat reliably browse the internet anonymously.  The easiest way to get it is to go to the Tor Project website and downloading the Tor Browser which is basically Mozilla Firefox that comes packaged with Tor.

Is it possible without getting the account banned etc? or blocked. I've created one via a VPN so I don't think a VPN is a problem....but to be logging in to it I would be using multiple VPN with different IP would this get the account banned?

Of course with Tor it's very well know which are tor nodes and the IP so would they get baneed/blocked for signing in?
