I created my account here using a MitM Squid SSL Bump proxy in a VPS provider and posted from that proxy for a few years. Once in a blue moon I would get rate limited, I assume because this site was being abused. AFAIK my posts were never affected by using my VPS proxies. VPS IP's and Tor exit node IP's are often treated as equally hostile by many sites but not here. I avoid Tor because every time I tried it there was just too much latency for me and I don't like someone else controlling the exit node. I eventually stopped using the proxy here on HN not because of this site but Cloudflare and Google would grief me on so many sites that people submit here which made it hard for me to review them and submitting everything to archive.ph is time consuming. I keep the MitM proxy around in case I need to go to a very hostile website or if I want to leave a funny PTR DNS record in their logs.
