Thanks in advance for any replies.
It has been discussed a few times in different places on the internet including the tor-talk mailing list. I done my best and wrote an article, which hopefully covers all aspects, all pros and cons of all combinations. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorPlusVPN Please read and leave feedback. If there are open questions, ask again. ______________________________________________________ powered by Secure-Mail.biz - anonymous and secure e-mail accounts. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
