Me neither, but would it have been easy to trace him? I mean if he was going to use this for bad, I would assume he would have waited a month or so then done it all via a VPN etc. But point being he _could_ have done this and to be honest for all we know, someone else _has_ been abusing it until it was patched...

    VPN is used to bypass regional restrictions.

    The VPN provider will share information if an active investigation is underway.

      Buy VPS with Monero.

      Deploy image containing Tor router and hidden service onion config.

      Do above as many times as one needs to feel comfortable.

      Use VPSes as proxies intermixed with VPN and Tor legs.

        Fine except TLA is running your VPS.

      the VPN provider can try to share whatever information but most reputable providers would have nothing

      You can pay for a VPN using monero or cash and then connect to the VPN from TOR - VPN provider doesn’t need to know anything

        Please don't do this. Most people aren't going to pull this off correctly and if they think this makes it safe for them to go around messing with companies they could really get themselves in a lot of trouble.

        If I were to mess around with stuff, and im not. The only way I'm doing that is with a used laptop of Craigslist or whatever and cafe with no cameras, even then idk.

        If you're already using Tor, what's the point of having a VPN too?
