Tor is slow, unreliable, started and funded by the CIA. VPNs are faster and often provide enough protection from 3rd parties (and less from the providers). The more alternatives there are the better.

With Amnezia this trust in the third party VPN providers is mitigated by the ability of anyone being able to provide a service for a cost of a VPN subscription for multiple people: https://en.amnezia.org/instruction.html
Yyou can have your own servers or friends you trust. The traffic is encrypted and using the public IPaddress of the rented server this way.
Renting a server (with a dedicated IP address) is still fairly easy without needing to be identified: https://bitcoin-vps.com/
