[tor-talk] 2 hop mode for people that only want to use Tor for censorship circumvention to conserve bandwidth and decrease latency?

[Greg Norcie]

Hi there,

If your main concern is merely circumvention (and you're not worried about
retaliation for circumventing), you might be better off using a VPN.

Unlike Tor, there is no globally published list of all VPN services, so you
could probably find one that isn't blocked by your country. Most services
take Bitcoin if payment is an issue... I'd look askance at any "free" VPN.
