Okay but please don't mention 'Tor' side by side with VPNs they are essentially different services/solutions, for different needs. Even on HN I see that many people are so confused about Tor that consider the traffic encrypted by default (when it's not not) or they use tor to perform the usual daily web operations (Facebook, twitter, email, etc.) which totally beat the purpose of Tor but would be excellent use case for a (paid or self-hosted) VPN.
