My big concern is that the VPN provider could some how see the unencrypted TOR data, but I have no idea if that could be possible.Īlso, for extra clarity, I live in a country that doesn't try to block or normally even monitor TOR traffic, and my VPN provider claims to be logless and doesn't require personal information during signup and was paid for using Monero (a crypto currency). From what I can see this dosn't seem like it would take away from the security TOR offers and could even add better security or at least make things slightly harder, but I'm not really sure.
I know this is really relying on the VPN truly being logless and trusted, seeing that the VPN provider could easily have records of all the connections made to TOR, so this may only really be adding a slight extra step to someone trying to find out if any TOR connections where made. I am aware that TOR encrypts the data being sent over the network so the ISP already has no idea what's being accessed, but I was thinking that a VPN could make things slightly even more secure seeing that they would see where the VPN connected opposed to TOR. I was wondering if using a VPN service with TOR could be a detriment to security in anyway? I was thinking that using a VPN could be a good way to hind the fact that any connection to the TOR network was ever made from the ISP. r/tor is not managed or endorsed by The Tor Project. /r/Namecoin – Namecoin, decentralized DNS./r/i2p – The Invisible Internet Project, anonymity system with similarities to Tor./r/PrivacyGuides – Helping you protect your data./r/privacy – privacy and freedom in the information age./r/netsec – security news and discussion./r/tails – the Tails operating system helps preserve anonymity./r/onions – all about Tor's hidden services.Tor Stack Exchange - question and answer site.Donate - Your support is critical to the Tor Project's success.Community portal - Join the Tor Community.Tor's support portal with frequently asked questions.By selecting the Tor Project as your charity, they will receive a small percentage of your Amazon purchases at no cost to you.
