No, dont run Tor over VPN. Its VPN over Tor.

Tor provides anonymity, VPN provides privacy. You want anonymity between you and the VPN, and privacy between you and internet hosts.

From the OpSec for xyz series: https://grugq.github.io/presentations/Keynote_The_Grugq_-_OP... • TOR connection to a VPN => OK • VPN connection to TOR => GOTO JAIL
