Id like to use VPN for everyday browsing, and TOR for #nostr.
I use GrapheneOS and have #VPN always on, dont know if its a good idea as it mixes with #TOR.
By the way, which client do you use for TOR in #GrapheneOS? Is it #orbot?
If you want to hide your IP on the Internet, use tor. Or a VPN you trust (I don't know how anyone trusts any VPN though for this purpose). VPNs are useful to trick Geo gated content, I wouldn't trust them for protecting your privacy. So for me its tor or you are just fooling yourself

I don't tor from my phone. I rarely tor. Generally I am not trying to hide my identity from spying governments or spying ISPs.
If I were to use tor (and I'm not saying that I do or don't), I would use something like qubes OS or tails OS and use dedicated hardware for it. Unless I was casually browsing in which case I'd use tor browser.
I run graphene.
I have orbot running on my phone but not in VPN mode. And I use Amethyst with it set up to connect via Tor through orbot's proxy on port 9050. (Thanks again nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z for adding that)
It works ok - well enough for my purposes. It is much slower than a direct connection and some events and images, videos etc don't download because a lot of stuff on the internet blocks traffic from Tor exit nodes because a lot of idiots do idiotic things through Tor.
