Tor over VPN: what it is and when to use it
Tor over VPN sends your traffic through a VPN first and then through the Tor network. Here is how it differs from Tor Browser and how the Tor server in FollowNet works.
What to know
Tor passes traffic through several volunteer relays, so a website sees a Tor exit address. With Tor over VPN your provider sees only a VPN connection, and after our server the traffic enters the Tor network. In FollowNet every app on the device goes this way, not just one browser.
How to use it
Open the server list and pick Tor Server in the Onion over VPN section. It is a Premium feature on iPhone and Android and always connects over VLESS. You do not need to install anything else or change settings.
Limits and honest expectations
Tor is much slower than a regular server, and some sites show captchas or refuse Tor addresses. It does not replace Tor Browser, which also protects against browser fingerprinting. Logging in to your accounts still identifies you. Opening .onion sites is not promised.
