Did you ever try to ask yourself: “Why do I trust to VPN companies they will preserve my anonymity?”
For me, it is needed to access sites that block tor. But I use only free VPNs and not for sites that can profile me. For example, Quora blocks tor and sometimes I need to access it. Then I use either free VPN through tor, or while using tor just access the page via proxysite.com
I would never use VPN after tor and paid for it?! Where’s there anonymity?! If I can pay to VPN company and stay anonymous, then the fact makes VPN pointless.
