    You don’t need a VPN when you use tor. In fact, it’s probably less secure since it’s going through a private server that might have a government black box hooked up. Also, no FBI or CIA agent is ever gonna tell you to use tor???

      There’s a popular conspiracy theory that Tor is a FBI/CIA honeypot

      I assume that’s what this is about

      But based on my understanding of Tor, you are correct. I always disconnect from my VPN when using Tor

    The people who have been caught on tor doing illegal stuff just had poor op sec. I think pompompurin (former owner of breach forums) got caught because he used a personal email talking to someone lol.
