> 5. Use the tor browser for browsing porn (or any site you really do not want associated with your IP).

And in case the FBI or whatever is running your Tor entry guard, hit it via nested VPN chains.

Maybe some y'all remember the CMU exploit. The FBI got their data, and pwned probably 1000s of onion sites and users.

If those onion sites and users had been hitting Tor through nested VPN chains, probably 90% at least would have been safe.

Tor Project folk like to hate on VPNs, but I'm not aware of any takedowns at that scale which involved VPN compromise.
