IMO, you're probably fine with only using VPN. That is with all the settings and additional measures done and with credible VPN provider, which, in my case, Mullvad.
If you're planning another 9.11 or for some sick reason decided to share no no porns, VPN is definitely not enough and I'm pretty sure you already know that.
A lot of **reputable** VPN providers are constantly poked bt the authorities. They give nothing because they have nothing.
You're fine if you're just trying to bypass stupid regional censorship or download bunch of movies. That is, again, with proper security measures of course.
I've seen some people saying that you should use Tor for anonymity when someone's just asking about how to use VPN better or whatnot. Tor is better in terms of anonymity, sure. But for most of the cases, VPN is fine.
And I cannot stress this enough: you will NEVER be perfectly anonymous online. Period.
It’s not gonna make your any more private than you already are.
Yes it will. VPN is not perfect. That is correct. Don’t expect yourself not to get caught if you’re planning to b0mb the whitehouse or distributing massive amount of no no porn. But in most cases, if you know what you’re doing and are using reputable VPN service, Mullvad being my personal choice, you’re fine.
Using Tor exclusively for everything is just paranoia imho. Although saddened about the port forwarding feature being gone, I’m pretty much comfortable with Mullvad. Use tor if you want to do something that will make your mom cry. You can use VPN for basically anything else.
Looks like a great solution but does it still work? Seems to be unmaintained.
