Should you use a VPN with Tor?

If the typical Internet user has nothing to hide then using only a VPN(Virtual private network) will suffice. but since all of your information and traffic online can reveal everything about you as a person then combining both suddenly becomes extremely plausible. it's definitely worthwhile to think about.

When you combine the usuage of a VPN and Tor, it becomes increasingly difficult for everyone including the most powerful adversaries like the NSA to find you. For the adversaries with the most resources and capabilities, they probably will find you if they really want to. But, using both Tor and VPN can make their jobs a lot more difficult and complicated than it needs to be.

I personally recommend using VPN through Tor since there is no reason to believe that any VPN provider won’t turn on you one day in order to protect themselves. That possibility alone isn’t worth risking in my honest opinion. Now the choice is ultimately yours to decide.

VPNs cannot make online connections completely anonymous, but they can usually increase privacy and security. To prevent disclosure of private information, VPNs typically allow only authenticated remote access using tunneling protocols and encryption techniques.

The VPN security model provides:

• Confidentiality such that even if the network traffic is sniffed at the packet level (see network sniffer and Deep packet inspection), an attacker would only see encrypted data
• Sender authentication to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the VPN
• Message integrity to detect any instances of tampering with transmitted messages
