 Tor help desk roundup
 ---------------------
 
-Summary of some questions sent to the Tor help desk. 
+The help desk has been asked how to configure a VPN to prevent a website from 
+learning that a user is using Tor. We consider positioning a VPN between one's
+exit node and the destination site to be totally unsafe, and not much more 
+anonymous than using a VPN without Tor. By design, Tor allows the destination 
+site to know that a visitor is using Tor [XXX]. The better solution is to 
+email the website owner and ask them to stop blocking Tor. The longer term 
+solution is that Tor needs someone willing to coordinate with websites to 
+design engagement solutions that work for Tor users and for big websites [XXX].
