  1. A Calyx Institute MiFi Hotspot ordered with a computer running Tails over a public WiFi bought with XMR shipped to a mail drop for a Wyoming LLC at a registered office ran by your attorney and forwarded to you by the attorney's office is about the most private access point you can get as an entry point to the Internet. After that connect via Tor over a VPN paid for with XMR. That is about as anonymous and private as you can get thanks to Attorney-Client privilege. Of course never put the sim into that hotspot anywhere near a location that can be associated with you.

  2.  @joeybuddy96  For bonus points, you hire the attorney with cash and give him a psuedonym.

  3.  @wrockd  perhaps I worded it wrong, but I was talking about connecting to the VPN via Tor network, not tunneling through VPN to get to Tor, I probably didn"t state it all that well, but even if your ISP knows where you are headed initially, they don't know where you are going. Even if you land on 2 honeypot Tor nodes, they still know next to nothing about you. I mean it is going to be hard to figure out who you are with the hotspot, but the hotspot through Tor, to a quality VPN in a genuine privacy jurisdiction paid for with Monero that you purchased in a non-KYC manner through Tails on a public WiFi is going to be very hard to link to you. The same goes for the MiFi Hotspot when you use your attorney's office with a pseudonym as a confidential mail drop. This is the type of OpSec you would use if you were building say a true DeFi crypto exchange and you did not want any entanglements with either the IRS or the SEC. This is assuming it is an entirely programmatic exchange that you are not planning to benefit from, but which you have zero desire to be questioned about for writing the code for example. I mean the code is not unlawful. If you are not benefiting from it financially, you are not necessarily subject to any licensing rules or personal liability, but if you wanted to pull a genuine Satoshi Nakamoto disappearing act off, you would want to start with at least that level of OpSec for it's deployment.

  4.  @wrockd  it is adding one more hop of obfuscation and adding yet another layer of fruitless investigative sourcing. The ISP doesn't know you were connected to Tor. Tor doesn't know where you are coming from, and the VPN provider only knows that you came from a mobile hotspot and went out to a Tor node. It removes single points of failure.
