Nice write-up. Tor over VPN is generally recommended if you want to hide Tor usage from your ISP and access the dark web securely, while VPN over Tor might be better if you prioritize privacy and want to shield your IP from the VPN provider.

**HOWEVER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT:**

**VPN over Tor (Computer -> Tor -> VPN -> Website) is more complicated due to the need for precise configuration and the potential for DNS leaks, whereas Tor over VPN is simpler and generally more supported by VPN providers.**

**So proceed with caution. You could shoot yourself in the foot if you don't know what you're doing and you don't test it well.**

**VPN over Tor:**

1. **Configuration Complexity:**

- Requires setting up the VPN client to connect after the Tor network is established.

- Ensuring that the VPN client is properly configured to route through Tor can be tricky.

2. **Limited VPN Support:**

-Not all VPN providers support connections through Tor, limiting the choice of VPN services.

3. **DNS Leaks:**

-More prone to DNS leaks if not properly configured, which can expose browsing activity.

4. **Performance:**

- Usually slower because the traffic first goes through the Tor network and then through the VPN, adding latency.

5. **Anonymity:**

- Tor entry nodes can see your IP address, but the VPN exit node sees the final destination. Misconfiguration can expose your identity.

**Tor over VPN:**

1. **Simpler Setup:**

- Connect to the VPN first, then start the Tor browser. Most VPNs support this configuration.

2. **Privacy:**

- The VPN hides your IP from the Tor entry node, adding an extra layer of privacy.

3. **DNS Handling:**

- Easier to manage DNS settings, reducing the risk of leaks.

4. **Compatibility:**

- More VPN providers support this setup, making it easier to find a suitable service.

I suppose having a very long range wifi antenna and borrowing a distant wifi network and using the VPN & TOR techniques above along with Qubes/Whonix would help even more. Or a public wifi.

I do not think intel will recover. AMD is fixing to blow its doors off.

Would it be bad to use a UK or NL

Number and international roam in the US? (Living in the US).

If your VPN is trying to show yourself in UK or NL. And you want the 2FA authentication to all align? Giving the impression that you are from the UK or NL. Even though you are mostly in the US.

(Maybe that is overkill?)
