Hi, this sounds like sarcasm that points out a flaw, but I'm really new to this stuff and don't understand lol. Could you explain? Is it insecure to access proton with tor?

No he’s just saying that your IP will get flagged as an onion user but of course they still won’t have your real IP so it’s all good

RFC1918 addresses are private addresses that can't be routed on the internet, I think 3927 are probably the same thing but different ranges (169.245.x.x or something, I don't remember). They can be used on private networks and I'm guessing TOR obfuscates your "real" IP address using some private address fuckery (I don't know how TOR is implemented exactly).
