I just got a Nord VPN subscription to go along with Tor. When I try to connect to the Tor VPN, it will not connect, and I get this message. Does anyone know what I should do to fix it?
Cancel your subscription and just use Tor. You don’t need a VPN for Tor and NordVPN would be the last you want.
Tor + VPN/Proxy?
This is a very frequently asked question we see in this subreddit. You generally do not need to use a VPN in conjunction with Tor, and you may even hurt your anonymity by doing so. However, a VPN may help if Tor is censored by your network. Please see the Tor Wiki for more details.
As others have stated, VPN + Tor is not recommended for the general case. Said so, even if you’re sure VPN + Tor is what you need, I don’t think is possible in regular Android or iOS. This is not a Tor fault, is just how those OS are designed.
Iphone and tor… two opposites tools!
Why phone just why use a computer
use the onion browser instead
You don’t need vpn protection when using tor browser cz tor does exactly what vpn does which is hiding yourself from isp, how ever isp will be able to see that u are using tor but nothing you doing inside tor network. Vpn are just fake things that brainwash people saying ’ ohh you got the vpn and now you are 100% safe, the truth is vpn provider also sell your data to 3rd parties…
Nord VPN is not your friend.
You got tricked by clearnet and you tube. Start over. No vpn. And if you have to use one don’t use nord. And please tell me you did not register with your name and pay with a card.
Ever wonder why they push vpn so hard? It’s not to keep you safe.
Mullvad vpn is dope no info for registration and don’t save info. Take bitcoin 5$ if you absolutely have to have one. I use one one clearnet.
Glad someone said it.
Why would Nord be the last you want?
Stop using VPN’s. Stop using Mobile.
You sure it’s official?
Because my computer isn’t working
VPNs just change your IP that’s all about it. It also depends upon your VPN Provider. Free VPNS tend to sell your data to 3rd parties as mentioned by the above user
Whereas TOR uses multiple routers which can basically prevent IP tracking and route trace back because the users IP gets changed/modified after passing or being transmitted from one router to the other. Which makes the task of tracing the IP hard and extremely time consuming.
Please let me know if I am wrong
Because they are far from following best practices compared to privacy focused VPN companies. If your threat model demands Tor level anonymity, Nord isn’t a good option. Nord is fine for many people and geo unblocking and basic things.
How long has it been broken?
Just curious if it’s something just being neglected or is it a recent casualty?
