Why not? While a VPN is better for some uses (Tor is unsuitable for BitTorrent for example), in most situations Tor is better. With a VPN, you have a single point of failure. Your IP address and web traffic are both visible to the VPN, which is enough to identify you even if you avoid payment records by paying Mullvad with cash, and like with all VPNs we have only their word that they don't keep logs. With Tor, only the entry node sees your IP address and only the exit node sees your traffic, so an attacker would need to attack both nodes at once in order to identify you. > I'll have to see how to boot to a USB as I haven't done that since I > installed libreboot and not sure if its the typical F12 at boot to get > into boot options. With libreboot you press 'u'. At least that's how it works on my X60 and X200.
