Re: [tor-relays] Relay behind VPN router

I believe that your bandwidth is limited by your ISP through which you connect to the internet with your ADSL-line. Therefore, running Tor over a VPN-connection will not increase the bandwidth of your relay, only obfuscate your IP address. Correct me if I am wrong.

you misunderstood. The question was, why I use VPN and not TOR. TOR is too slow for some applications. Try watching a youtube video through tor, this is often stuttering.

Another reason why I prefer vpn: only apps capable of socks5 can use TOR. With a vpn client on my router I can anonymize ALL traffic, even those of tablets, smartphones, smart tv, game consoles etc.
