> - Use a VPN when connecting to TOR (I also put my TOR services behind their own VPN so even if the entry point is known you can't get the origin IP from it)
Has this advice been studied? If everyone uses a VPN you could be reducing network diversity. A single compromised provider could make correlation attacks easier across the entire network.
I'm not saying that's certain, but I'm generally skeptical of "hone remedies" when it comes to Tor. There is so much potential for counterintuitive interaction.
… ROT13 is known to be a very insecure method of encryption, therefore you should run it twice on your messages to keep adversaries from reading your secrets.
Unless you’re completely certain it’s impossible for the VPN providers to coordinate, that sounds like a way to short circuit the entire tor infrastructure.
