Tano was asking about anonymity. Tor to VPN won't give you anonymity because you are connected to a VPN account.
Ummm ... unless you use a free VPN ... or buy a VPN account with bitcoins, or better yet, darkcoins. Kind of a hassle. My way is free. And it works.
Like I was saying ... using a VPN for getting certain sites that otherwise would be restricted is great.Tor To VPN
Computer > Encrypt w/ VPN > Tor Entry > Tor Exit > Decrypt w/ VPN > Destination
This configuration, to me, brings a greater degree of advantage to running both Tor and a VPN than the previous configuration does. Routing your traffic through Tor to your VPN has the major benefit of hiding traffic from malicious exit nodes. Because traffic is encrypted with the VPN before entering the Tor network, and because it is decrypted after leaving the Tor network, any exit relays that are snooping your traffic will see nothing but noise. The risks of VPN logging are also reduced, as any logs will have a Tor Exit IP attached to it rather than your real IP (and usually it's meta-data that is logged, not content).
Of course the major difficulty in doing this is acquiring the VPN in the first place. Even though the VPN server will only see your IP as being that of the exit relay, your anonymity will be ruined if it has a financial record of you. Because of this, washed/anonymized Bitcoins, or better yet Darkcoins, must be used to purchase the VPN. You will also have place the purchase over Tor to ensure that the VPN has no initial record of your account, and that the transaction IP doesn't appear on the blockchain (remember to check that the site you're visiting is authentic, and using HTTPS). You must also remember to never connect to the VPN without first going through Tor. This requires some strict security habits, but if your threat model warrants this type of security then you don't have much choice.
Being anonymous is a little bit different. If you are connected to an account in anyway ... well, you are not anonymous.
At all. So stop telling people they can be anonymous if you do not know how. You are giving erroneous information that is going to get some people in trouble if they want to be anonymous.
So if you can't figure it out, why keep trying to use computer lingo to confuse people, and just say you are not sure?
I am very sure. And if you continue down this road where you think you are some kind of expert, I'm going to have to literally make you look very bad with 'technical jargon'.
Or perhaps you think I'm fake, too.
Let me add a link for users to peruse, since you really have no idea what you are talking about ... at all. Period. And you are a very bad guesser.
