Vpn Over VM?

[Adonis4000]

Hello, I am concerned about privacy and security so I have decided to use a Virtual Machine, run Tor from there and at the same time have a Vpn at the ready.

One problem. Originally I was going to use a Vpn from within the VM, however I have decided to go with a Linux OS and it is kind of difficult to find a free vpn service.

My solution would be to run the Vpn from the host OS (Windows 10), then boot up the VM and run Tor.

Would that work? Would it essentially, make my ISP not able to track my usage?

Security concerns are always important. But they can lead to paranoia... 

 

Tor isn't safe anymore for quite some time, so just a placebo.

 

The question is what do you want all that for? Connect from outside or just "safe" browsing?

 

VPN Services well, you need to find one that doesn't keep track of your account... else you just can surf the web without it. 

 

For an own VPN Server at home you can use Open Swan on Linux for example... if you want to use it to connect to your network from outside.

 

I for example just told myself, due to changing IP every 24 hours and a router/firewall thingie in between my internal network and the outside world that this is enough for me. If someone brings up the criminal energy to get past the device within the 24 hours, they can keep all the russian horse pr0n they can find on my machines

If you're that concerned with your privacy, you shouldn't be using a free VPN in the first place; they're not charities, they do have to make money somehow, and that in general means they track you and your doings.

If all you want is to be privacy conscious you could simply make sure you use a privacy-focused vpn and ensure all your dns requests are encrypted. If you're already going to the hassle of setting up a vm, it could handle the encrypted dns forwarding for your entire network.

 

TOR is more for people who have a serious fear for the information they transmit - like leakers, people in oppressive regimes, or people involved in criminal activity. If you just want your data to be private, you don't need to go to as much trouble as you are.
