  1. If you want anonymity, then never use a VPN service. Use TOR, and only TOR. The advice given in this video, to connect to a VPN service, which then you will connect to TOR network, is very bad advice. When you use a VPN service, they are acting as a proxy for everything that you are doing. So if you use a VPN service, and connect it to TOR network, then the VPN service can see 100% of what you are typing for all internet activity. And the VPN service will see 100% of everything being sent back to you from the dark web. VPN services make all kinds of claims about keeping you safe, and keeping no logs, etc. You have no way, whatsoever, to verify their claims. And even if a VPN service really goes out of their way to honor their claims, a court can order them to keep logs, and also issue a gag order, so that customers will not know that they are keeping logs. If you wanted to know what people were trying to hide, one of the first places you would check is with VPN services. Governments and people in high places know that, and will find ways to see what is being accessed on VPN services. TOR was created to keep you safe and private. It is an amazing feat of engineering, and it works. Do not think that you are smarter than the people that engineered TOR network. Anything that you do to "enhance" TOR activity will likely degrade your privacy and security, significantly. Lastly, the dark web is not the spooky den of evil that that guest made it out to be. Sure, there are illegal activities taking place on the dark web, but not nearly as much as on the clear web (the one we all use). TOR network is primarily used for things like whistle blowing, and remaining anonymous in forums and elsewhere. You might want to visit Facebook, and not be tracked. Just because you want strict privacy, does not mean that you are engaging in criminal activity. The murder for hire example in this video is ridiculous. Thumb's down click earned, for making the dark web sound like an underworld cesspool of crime and corruption, and also for the horrible VPN advice.
