You SHOULD connect to Tor via a VPN, actually

The onion router was a clue in itself as to how you connect to the Internet, especially when you need to hide. Add more than a normal vpn into the mix, proxies, ssh tunnels, dns tunnels, net cat, and maybe i2p. Once done, you could even fire off an ion cannon in a particular orbit if you fancy.

Just bear in mind that some vpn companies are owned by companies who also own other companies that own large networks, so they don't necessarily need the vpn to log traffic to get your meta data.

I never leave my VPN, so that's the easier way anyway.

What are you guys actually using Tor for, anyway?
