Information Security Asked by Ultra Gamer on July 22, 2020
(Forgive me, I don’t know whether to post this here for in the “Tor” community)
I’m brand new to Tor, I understand the basics of how it works and the Do’s & Don’ts. I have a Windows 10 computer (Fully up to date) with Virtual Box installed. Within the VB I have Linux Mint installed, set up and ready to go. I have also downloaded the Tor browser from the official website. However, when I boot the browser it asks me if I want to just connect and go, or if I want to configure the browser if I have a VPN running. Thing is my Host Windows 10 system has ProtonVPN installed and active. So my question is do I need to configure the Tor browser even though the VPN is on the host? If I do need to configure it, how do I do that? Thanks.
It depends upon how your VM is connected to the Internet. Generally there are two options: NAT or BRIDGED.
NAT will use whatever your Host is using, including a host VPN if present.
Bridged will set up a second native connection as if the host were not present.
In either case you want to "Just Connect".
Although there are a few reasons for tunneling Tor through a VPN, they all relate to locally hiding the fact that you are running Tor. It does not substantially add to security or anonymity over running Tor directly.
