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?
I think a browser extension would only route through the VPN for traffic within that browser.
It’s easy to test - with the extension running, check your IP in two browsers (or, better yet, from the terminal)
Appreciate your answer!
Yes, it surely would. It’s what i wanted. I intended to route Tor proxy through a VPN to conceal the fact it’s Tor from websites and at the same time to conceal my real web fingerprint from a VPN provider. From my experience most of mainstream services and platforms let you in with VPN more often than with Tor. Btw with Tornet terminal tool for Linux browsing feels more than pleasantly. I haven’t noticed any severe reduces of speed.
But it still has a weak point - ISP sees TOR connections and may flag you. I would like to try more advanced approach in the future but it requires expertise in self-hosting.
