Whoever wrote this article, didn’t do enough research about that what he written things like using a VPN aren’t recommended by the Tor Project for specific reasons, also hosting your own entrance guard makes u even more easily deanonymizable. I would recommebd to checking the Tor Project, Whonix and Tails Documentation, they include very well and also some technical explanations, about all of this.
This article is an ad for the VPN service setup done by the company who wrote it. They mention it several times in the article.
That’s why they are pushing VPN and self-hosted entrance guards; they want to sell you one.
I don’t fund anything related to VPN at their products page, but that they want to promote their self-hosted entrance guards is definitly true, this article isn’t trustworthy
This is the second “article” I’ve read from this site that turned out to be an ad. This made me check OP’s post history, and it’s nothing but promotional content from this one site. I feel like this should be reported. This is supposed to be a community-driven forum with genuine content, not somebody’s advertising platform.
