   Does it make sense to use Tor alongside a VPN? Seems that that'd defeat the purpose. I already make heavy use of a VPN.

     @cmhobbs Now that you mention it, while I've heard of people using it that way, I don't think it adds much benefit.

     #Tor seems to be mostly about anonymizing users by concealing their source IP address. #VPN needs to identify and auth users.

     @cmhobbs I should point out that I do not use #Tor very often, and never with #VPN, so not speaking from experience.
