It doesn't matter if Tor protects your being traced from VPS2 if they can obtain your identity via account info or other. | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 16:17 | comment | added | Neil Smithline | @VictorMezrin - To run Tor over a VPN, choose a VPN provider that you trust (see helpful comparison, connect to VPN from your computer, then run Tor on that computer. If someone breaks Tor, they'll just find your VPN IP. They'll then need to break that too. Seems pretty secure to me. | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 14:56 | comment | added | RoraΖ | @tlng05 It's true they highly recommend the Tor Browser due to autoconfiguration. But the only traffic they explicitly say Tor is designed for is torrents. But to say that it's designed for Web Browsing I believe is incorrect. | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 14:45 | comment | added | tlng05 | @raz I know it's technically doable, but don't they discourage people from sending traffic through the Tor network using anything other than the official Browser Bundle, due to the risks of information leakage from improper configuration? It sounds like OP is no longer using the Tor Browser with this setup, which I would say is quite dangerous. | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 14:29 | comment | added | Victor Mezrin | @NeilSmithline I do not understand what is "Tor over a VPN" | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 14:27 | comment | added | Victor Mezrin | @NeilSmithline I have no idea how to trace me from VPS2. VPS2 is just a VPN server that accept incoming VPN connections from the TOR network. But VPS2 can be additional barrier for someone who want to trace me. Also VPS2 hides that I use system with anonymity (exit nodes of the TOR are well known) | |

@tlng05 Tor is designed for any type of traffic. If a VPN can be established between VPS1 and VPS2 then a tunnel can be negotiated through a Tor circuit just fine. You just need to setup Tor correctly, and have the right routes established to push the traffic through Tor.

| Aug 13, 2015 at 23:34 | comment | added | tlng05 | How are you going to establish a VPN connection between the two VPS servers through Tor? Tor is designed for Internet traffic, so tunneling VPN traffic through it may be a challenge. | |

I think that just because you do not completely trust Tor doesn't mean that it leaks privacy information (lots of people trust it) or that you can do better than it. For example, it looks like your solution reduces security as all someone needs to do is trace you to VPS2. How about just running Tor over a VPN? That is likely no worse than running Tor on its own and maybe better.
