Bitfinex will let you use tor, but you have to log in through a regular IP address first then enable it tor logins for that account. All attempts to log in through tor are blocked otherwise.

Tor Services:
Bitfinex now offers direct access through a Tor hidden service. There are a few steps the user needs to take in order to access the service. By default, account logins on the onion domain are disabled on all accounts. You need to login to your account and enable it first.

There are a few things you need before you consider purchase off of Tor.

Get yourself a computer configured with Tails
Purchase Bitcoin anonymously.
Send the coin through a tumbler .
Create an anonymous wallet and receive the tumbled coin.
Purchase with coin from a market.

These are the basic steps to securely purchase. Hope this helps!

Tor changes ip every few min normally, if sites are checking ip which they do Cheesy

mostly will log out you,Using a simple https proxy is much better than tor for this purpose

It won't as these exchanges usually don't really take your I.P as a proof, they will ask you for your ID and residence but If that's not the case, you should be fine.

Some exchanges don't even require you to have an account to exchange with them. Shapeshift.io and Changer.com don't require an account.

Also, will using the Tor browser get me around the "USA bans" that a lot of the exchanges seem to have?
