Why do many platforms don't allow using the Tor Browser?

[Kirubel]

I have noticed that some websites, particularly those online money making platforms, forbid users from accessing their platforms through a TOR browser, and I am curious about why. Is it because the user's IP address is hidden by the TOR browser? If you have any idea?

Of course, many platforms don't allow you to use the Tor browser, because the Tor browser will connect to a proxy server, so it can protect the privacy and anonymity of your IP address, any site you visit will be difficult to track, there is no history. Any website operator will easily know that you are using the Tor browser.

Tor is VPN and it masks IP . Money making sites want to make sure that the users are truly humans and are verifiable. With Tor, it is easy to create multiple accounts which will invariable affects business of the websites.

So that is the main reason why those platforms are not allowing users to use the TOR browser, only because the browser hides our Ip address.

Advertisers don't like tor and other vpn platforms since they don't want fake traffic and fake clicks on ads. Webmasters depend on advertisers so they don't allow it to.

You are right, since tor browser hides our PI address and our identity those online money earning platforms don't allow use to use it. and yeah they don't also allow to use VPN.

This is the first time that I came to hear this term Tor browser. I got curious to see the title of the discussion and came to this thread. I have learnt something new from the replies here. Forums like this are a great place to learn and share.

The Tor browser often slows down browsing compared to other browsers used via VPN, so users will have difficulty watching videos or playing online games. Tor browser is also available on Google play.

I have never used this browser before, but if the IP address is hidden, then that is probably the reason. Most sites do not accept this.

Most of my friends that access the dark Web use Tor Browser. For a browser that allows people to seamlessly access the dark Web, I don't think it would be ideal for a money making site.
