How do I use AirVPN through Tor?

[Anon2853 0]

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to understanding networks, anonymity and security. I am considering purchasing AirVPN, as I was informed that your company in particular makes it easier to connect to a VPN through Tor, as oppose to the other way round. I've heard this is better for anonymity, so I was wondering if I could get some guidance on how to do this using your VPN?

I see a little but important problem here. You are a newbie who doesn't know your way around computer networks, anonymity and security, yet your goal requires this knowledge to know what you are doing. I do sympathize when you make it clear that you face attacks against your life now, or later if you prepare for a trip or something, and you can't leave anything regarding your usage of the internet there to chance. You will find plenty of help from everyone. In all other cases I'd advice keeping to Pareto to avoid plain paranoia – 80% of the effectiveness is achieved with just 20% of investments, such as simply setting up a VPN and follow a few simple rules about browser and OS usage/configuration to minimize traces (after all, most tracking on the internet is done against the masses, so if you fall through those nets, you're good to go). The other 80% of investments will do much less in regards to your own safety, but done right can protect you from targeted attacks should they happen.

Anyway, all the guides are in the download section, VPN over Tor is there as well. And since you are new here, and to networks, privacy and VPNs in general, take 30 minutes of your time and go through Mr. LZ1's New User guide, first link in my signature. This is long, but will clear up some frequently asked questions you might also have.

Also, welcome to AirVPN. I hope you stay regardless of VPN over Tor working or not.
