Ask HN: Is it safe to perform credit card payments over TOR?

1 pointsby nebulaover 10 years ago
Curious to know if it is safe to use credit card payments on e-commerce websites while connecting through TOr.Is it possible for the transactions to get flagged if the payment gateway detects them to be coming through Tor? Is there anything else that I need to worry about?

It sort of defeats the purpose does it not? You&#x27;re using an anonymity service but a card that is tied to you, I assume?<p>Edit: But to answer your question it is entirely up to the service provider whether or not they will flag the Tor connection and block you. Personally, I wouldn&#x27;t even log into any internet accounts I&#x27;ve created outside of Tor while using it.
