Bought a new VPN...now what

It came highly rated by several reputable sites. How can i use it to maximize my stealth experience in the internet. Doesn't keep logs.

I am not a criminal, just a privacy ascivist.

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. In the eyes of the Illuminati we are all criminals. You should be using Tails. And Nixon said "I am not a crook".

P.S. I usually use tails and order very little.

option A: you -> vpn -> tor -> site
advantage: hides the fact that your running tor from your ISP
disadvantage: none, but tor bridges are probably as good

option B: you -> tor -> vpn -> site
advantage: hides the fact that your using Tor from site (no more cloudflare captcha, safer tracking. ect.)
disadvantage: .onion urls dont work anymore
note: you absolutely must have bought the vpn for btc over tor with this option (bought from real IP -> breaks tor anonymity if they kept logs...)

tails is not vpn-friendly, unless you run the vpn thru other hardware. your best bet is probably whonix, or you can set up tor and firefox and iptables to block leaks on any linux distro.

i dont think theres an "easy setup" option anywhere for anything. i like using ssh -D vpn protocol because you dont need to do anything special to stop it from leaking if the vpn drops eg. for option B:

dont ever use vpn alone. option B is always better except that its slow

eta: and yeah, for buying small quantity it doesnt help much except with cloudflare captchas
