Such standards require that each review will be based on an independent, honest and professional examination of the reviewer. VpnMentor contains reviews that were written by our experts and follow the strict reviewing standards, including ethical standards, that we have adopted.

VpnMentor is owned by Kape Technologies PLC, which owns the following products: ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, ZenMate, Private Internet Access, and Intego, which may be reviewed on this website. On the other hand, not using a VPN guarantees, 100%, that your real IP address has been leaked.VpnMentor contains reviews that are written by our community reviewers, and are based on the reviewers' independent and professional examination of the products/services. In this threat model, having a VPN would prevent the adversary from discovering your real IP address, provided the VPN is not a honey pot/not logging/etc. It does not follow that someone with this capability could necessary hack a VPN or monitor packets from a VPN. To control some guard nodes/exit nodes requires a relatively low level of sophistication. Method #1 and #2 require two totally different levels of sophistication. I think you are conflating method #1 and #2 and then deriving your conclusion. You state that an adversary who was sophisticated enough to do this must be sophisticated enough to hack/correlate packets from a VPN provider. You argue that a theoretical adversary could either 1) control guard nodes/exit nodes or 2) hack/compromise ISPs and ASes 'all over' and essentially can correlate packets all over the internet. Hi, I read your arguments, but there is one piece I think is inconsistent. Yet again I feel the need to revise this post and make my fence-sitting more clear.)

You'll find they sound very very anti VPN+Tor, but that's mainly a consequence of me feeling like there's an ocean of pro VPN+Tor content out there and I need to do my best to counteract that. ( My arguments, for anyone who has managed to not read them yet. Since then - and especially in the last year that I've been very heavily copy pasting the same 2-4 sentence comments all over these subreddits - people seem to have taken up the idea that adding a VPN to Tor is a bad idea (again, my argument is more nuanced). I got fed up with all the time I was spending writing the same rebuttals and challenging those people's claims, that I decided to write down my arguments 'once and for all' on my blog in November 2016, allowing me to easily link to it or copy paste from it. I'm pretty sure I am the source of the most (not all) of army of people on Reddit that argue Tor + VPN is a bad idea, even though what I've always been arguing is much more nuanced.Īlmost 3 years ago when I created this Reddit account (and probably the last ~year that I was using my previous one) r/tor was mostly recommending to add a VPN to Tor. It has obvious upsides and the downsides are not obvious. Since your VPN provider is so awesome, obviously you should use a VPN with Tor too because good + good = better, after all.īasically, I think it's mostly that last sentence. There's entire subreddits dedicated to the idea you can thwart tracking and make all your Internet activities super mega safe again by simply paying a VPN provider. There's a ton of tech '''news''' articles that argue its merits and provide you handy referral links to providers. There's still a ton of people on Reddit who argue for it. Now that I've already typed out this comment, I see you're asking for where people get the idea for adding a VPN to Tor, not against.
