> There is always a server that knows who you are. Whether it's a OpenVPN server hosted on an EC2 instance or a TOR entry node. There's a fundamental difference here. With EC2, you get a server that knows who you are and what you're saying (at least they know who you're talking with, if you use HTTPS). The TOR entry node only knows who you are, but knows nothing about who you're communicating with or what you're saying.
