All of this boils down to a single point of failure: You have to trust your VPS. "Has no logs" - you don't know that. "Burn your VPS IP" - All IP<->VPS history might be logged. "Spin up new ones" - from the outside this is exactly like changing the IP, you have to trust that the VPS provider does not keep the logs. However, if you do manage to get an anonymous VPS, I agree that it is beneficial to only connect to it through Tor if you want it to remain anonymous. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
