I only use TAILS to logon to any onions. Sometimes I browse onions on Tor on windows. I use a vpn always except when I use tor. Is this the proper protocol? I have read so many times to not VPN + Tor.

Also- if I only have internet via unlimited 4G LTE hotspot which i connect to thru my desktop and laptop originating from my phone, does using a vpn or tor or tor w/ tor bridges change any procedure compared from having an actual ISP?

Remember guys to always upgrade Tails to the latest version, don't be lazy.

It contains important bug fixes in the Tor browser that can save your asses later.

Been reading a lot about coinbase here lately. Anyone think it would be a very bad idea to buy bitcoin from them and move bitcoin to my market wallet buy from market? Im looking at it like this... If coinbase would have a record of me sending bitcoin to bob slob in California how is that bad? unless bob gets busted in a normal drug bust and they find files on his computer? It.s not like coins base is gonna be like oh thats bob slob from cali he slings drugs on deep web markets better notify the government that joe blow just sent him bitcoin!" Let me know what you guys think. I dont want to get busted but all this coin tumbler stuff just seems like a waste when one of the two people rather the seller or receiver get raided and files are found. Of course im asking cause I might be VERY wrong.
