Never Use Tor with a VPN

Head over here to actually learn something.

VPN doesn’t help or hurt Tor browser, and VPN helps protect all of the non-Tor traffic (services, cron jobs, other apps) coming out of your system while you’re using Tor browser (and after you stop using Tor browser). Using a VPN and letting the VPN company see some info is better than letting your ISP see the same info. So leave the VPN running 24/365, even while you’re using Tor. [PS: I’m talking about running TB in a normal OS; Tails is a different situation.]

That said, neither VPN nor Tor/onion are magic silver bullets that make you safe and anonymous. VPN mainly protects your traffic from other devices on same LAN, from router, and from ISP. Tor/onion does same, but only for Tor browser traffic; also adds more hops to make it harder to trace back from the destination server to your original IP address, and also mostly forces you into using good browser settings. Both VPN and Tor/onion really protect only the data in motion; if the data content reveals your private info, the destination server gets your private info.

“Don’t do this if you don’t know what you’re doing”

Misleading title. The video didn’t have anything on why you shouldn’t use vpn with tor

Maybe learn to speak first.

Whataboutism running rampant here, OP has lost touch with logic and can’t keep his finger off the downvote button, all because reality doesn’t agree with his personal opinions.

Eesh

11

12

could someone summarize what the movie is about?

13

And what if I use TOR as a VPN?

14

Wait what. I always do this

Well, what Snowden said he did in his book was the following:

  1. drive around and crack WPA2 or WEP wifi in a residential neighborhood ( wifite2 is good at this )
  2. use Tails and Tor with that site only one time. Don’t reuse the same wifi

Not saying that anyone should do illegal behaviors. But this was what was written. And given how some people are really nutters about security, this might come in handy. Of course, instead of cracking wifi, you can look for a free wifi with a coffee shop or something, and use a yagi or cantenna for distance usage.

There’s link site on tor that heavily stress users to have tor and Nord VPN honeypot ???

You’ve made that clear…nevermind bro.

First Matthew thank you kindly. Even if it was all misinformation, or a little too strongly put, when you said “NEVER”, you took considerable time and effort to spread what you thought to be important knowledge. Secondly, y’all Matthew isn’t telling us the one step to complete anonymity and security. It’s a suggestion based upon his experience/expertise that y’all could simply not listen to. Third, there seems to be a whole lot of bitches on this thread. OP has a developmental disability called Autism. He’s not special ed and the fact he MADE this video and shared it here where he thought would be useful is more than what some of your ignorant asses are doing.

On the detailed VPN review, what does it mean with express VPN showing “owned” under the 14 eyes/5 eyes?

You never know if your VPN is logging.
