NSA also runs Tor nodes.
Every time you connect to tor, you are rolling the dice on 3 random nodes.
If you use Tor frequently, you’ll eventually end up with 3 NSA run nodes, it may take a week, it may take months, but it will eventually happen.
Edit: I use tor tho, I just also run a VPN at the same time, in case I get unlucky and roll 3 NSA nodes.
Many people run Tor nodes. I also used to run exits until dealing with complaints became onerous, then I ran middlemen for many years. In general one should only pipe encrypted traffic through Tor, and be it just for malicious exits which sniff and tamper with your traffic. There are use cases for using Tor together with a VPN tunnel, but these need careful consideration.
