I have a pro subscription to protonvpn. And I also use tor. But when you zaps I don't think you always (!) use both of them, never forget to use it. It is enough if you forget it only one time. But the IP address is only one thing. But if you can buy something for fiat, or use crylto exchange, you have to use KYC (but here some scammer promotes that you must not).
Even if you use higher amount of electricity, or your internet traffic belongs to some specified IP (minimg pool), you are suspected.
You have to be an advanced user or IT professional to completely hide yourself. Most of the users are not this kind.
As a privacy and IT security pro I have heard about the mentioned tools of course. And I use them (and another tools).
BTW: if you use XMR (as a shitcoin 😁) it is a better way to hold your private live.
