Hey, folks! Please, tell me what you think about Tornet + VPN combination. To be exact in-browser VPN extention. If you connect to TOR proxy first and then connect to VPN you don’t expose your real IP to a VPN-provider and conceal the fact you’re using TOR (to prevent captchas on sites etc ). This way you could use any VPN (even free tear propriety) Am i right?

Excellent! Thank you so much for such a comprehensive answer.
I appreciate that you broke it down for me and mentioned few other nuances worth considering. If i understood it correctly, this combination (in this particular order) is not so reasonable because a VPN would still see what i’m doing and i just would be trading off my traffic data for option to hide Tor from sites i visit (in case if i use a “free” VPN). Unfortunately my network managing skills are very limited. Ideally one day i’d like to set up something like: own proxy 1 (or VPN) - Tor - own proxy 2 (or VPN). This way i could eliminate ISP snooping and make entry and exit proxies unfamiliar with each other.
