[tor-talk] Are webmail providers biased against Tor?

Yahoo insists that users always log in from the same place. You need to identify yourself with a mobile (so they know where you are) or by going to some e-mail that is NOT Yahoo.

I set torrc to always use a single country EXITNODE, but if that country is the US, Tor frequently uses Germany instead, even with Strictnodes T

So when you tell torrc to only use exits in New York, Tor doesn't always listen and you'll get the 'unfamiliar device, please log in to your other e-mail or use your cellphone to log in' on Yahoo.
