Pay for your VPN with privacy coins or run your own VPN. Of course the unethical and illegal method is to compromise a number of systems to route traffic, but obviously that’s problematic.
- metildaa 8y agoProblem is how do you trust the VPN operator? They have your connection metadata, and no reason not to use it against you. If you want a trusted first hop into the Tor network, use a guard node run by a friend or yourself: https://www.reddit.com/r/TOR/comments/5qmqw4/should_i_be_using_a_vpn_with_tor/ https://www.reddit.com/r/TOR/comments/5qmqw4/should_i_be_usi...
- jerheinze 8y ago> Pay for your VPN with privacy coins or run your own VPN. That doesn't matter since you're still connected to them with your IP address, plus there's the additional problem of browser fingerprinting which alone may leak enough information to de-anonymize you and let us not even mention the lack of first-party isolation. Running your own VPN is even worse since it basically links you to all of the traffic.
