How can that be done? I mentioned the idea of running a VPN through a JanusPA once but no one commented. I use to have an Iphantom until they discontinued it. I ran Xerobank through it and it worked just fine. But the Iphantom was a hardware device so when I connected the VPN, it had to go through the Iphantom first. At the time I thought it was pretty cool that my ISP would only see me connected to Iphantom but a website would only see Xerobank. Not that it really mattered that my ISP saw Xerobank. I just liked the idea of obscuring my connection.....just because I could. I can't imagine how you could run a VPN through Tor without having a hardware device hooked up to the router.. It must be pretty complicated.
But I wonder what a VPN service would think? I tried to buy a Xerobank account for a friend one time. I used my real name and the same credit card that my account was associated with. But when I ordered it, I was running XB through the Iphantom. And my order was rejected. I got a message that Xerobank had flagged me as suspicious or something like that. So I just skipped it. But anyway, I would think that it would look especially odd to a VPN provider to have a connection coming to them straight from Tor. Pretty freaky, in fact. And they may not like it.
