No, I don't think it's the best way.  For some providers, it may be the 
only way to use Tor.  I think Gmail may do same thing, if try to login 
w/ exit node from a different country than used to sign up for the acct 
(not sure).

If truly concerned about attacks / profiling, using a provider that 
allows Tor would be better.
