I guess, you don't care about proxy kind.
If you're using the plain tor client, you can route a VPN through Tor by adding these lines to the openvpn .conf file in /etc/openvpn: socks-proxy 127.0.0.1 9050 /etc/openvpn/up socks-proxy-retry The file "up" is rather a bug. It must exist, but can contain just: foo bar If you're using Tor browser, you would add these lines to the openvpn .conf file: socks-proxy 127.0.0.1 9150 up socks-proxy-retry Better is doing this with VMs as gateways for VPNs and Tor. Because leaks. But that takes for work, and resources to use it. Anyway, you must use openvpn in TCP mode, because Tor doesn't route UDP. Otherwise, you just setup openvpn in the usual way, using the service daemon (not Network Manager). You obviously don't want to use a VPN service paid for through a credit card, or in any other way that associates your identity with it. Best is using a reputable free VPN, such as SecurityKISS. Setup the account through Tor, obviously. Also, it's probably unwise to use Tor browser through a VPN, because that makes you very unique. Better just use Firefox with Adblock Plus, Canvas Defender, NoScript, Privacy Badger, RefControl and WebRTC Control. And block WebGL in NoScript. Finally, recall that using VPNs through Tor is rather like dancing with your foot nailed to the floor. The VPN connection prevents Tor from switching circuits. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJXew4dAAoJEGINZVEXwuQ+ghQIAM6MD4pLt6N+8inLduCflCov 8PSzVIqZqvFXx1VOMBqTQnbZ73M3fvM/my885hXiXPgyDF5oGvvuizft4Bn3Hjxl azngfnGkQFgDAHk2n3ec8/EZfWGWhaSvQ4OR/MH/rgQNWpIZtSnCKD4RzRKuwL7h Mr4JacPfIgsUjegx2mGLcDz3LPnDCS3IBsGTYVusQt+7A17V4ChcuaG54OY006WI kbKo13EovMv8Ge+hW987z3BElMkQ6sJewEKWnmAGlxxC5qZbGa5j8FMNMTGOAIYA JfI2UQ3f5qru/fH/VCGQ9WWLjDh1jOBAGI0oSRQdhvT3uN7znxxB1pWYPGa3m2o= =Za5Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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
