VPNs vs Tor. Both have advantages and disadvantages. A lot people combine both methods to reduce risks for leaks. VPNs * easy to set up * route all traffic through Tor * no DNS leaks * less anonymous than Tor Tor * requires correct proxy settings * in past there have been lots of leaks due to configuration mistakes or application bugs * if used correctly: more anonymous Can't we combine all advantages? I am proposing a Tor VPN mode. Once activated, Tor acts as a local VPN-like client and internally redirects all traffic though Tor.
