To be perfectly honest, if someone needs to vpn for reasons that could cause real backlash, aka political dissent, the best thing to have is a owned box somewhere and tunnel through it. Add one or more layers, and or a use once discard policy... But the sad fact is thats just about the only way to raise the barrier of entry for a state level (notice I didnt say nation state) actor.

Not necessarily condoning illegal activity, just stating things plainly.

I'm pretty sure tor is under attack heavily right now, (see ioerror accusations), and I have used it very sparingly. Of course only NSA level actors can comprimise it with enough upstream fiber/exit node taps...

You must always know your enemy.
