Has anyone successfully created a GMX email acct using Tor? It won't
work for me - just get " Sorry, cannot process registration at this

At lst, it wouldn't let me copy / paste PW twice - 2nd box showed diff
# of asterisks & gave PWs don't match error. That session timed out
on me.
I set my exit nodes to use US exits & GMX seems to recognize I'm in
the U.S. (which I am).
Cleared all cookies & cache, created new Tor identity & got new IP
address. Went back & tried again & typed simple PW that met minimum
criteria.
Still the "cannot process registration..." No explanation why. If it
was because I mis typed the captcha, it didn't say so.
If it's worked for others (& maybe they could shed some light), I'll
just wait & try much later. Thanks.
Sent GMX support a request about registration issues. Got auto response
that included this (which explains problem registering w/ Tor):
*Registration Issues*
If you receive an error message during registration stating that "Your
registration could not be processed at the moment. Please try again
later. If the error persists, please contact us.", it is possible that
your IP address has been blacklisted.
This usually happens when the system notices that several accounts
have been created from a certain IP or IP address range (such as in an
office or organization which just uses one public IP for the whole
network).
You would help us further investigating your case by sending us /your
IP address (go to www.whatismyipaddress.com for more information/
Now, I changed the IP address before trying to register again, after it
failed. But my guess is, so many people try registering w/ Tor & there
are only so many exit nodes / IP addresses, that after a while, the same
IP address must get used repeatedly.
I suppose I could keep changing IP address & trying - ad infinitum -
seems like a LONG, unsure process. Any suggestions?
