Hey, 

On behalf of Firo Solutions LTD we can say that we use to for UXdevelopment if we hire a freelancer its alot better to give them a .onion address and write2 lines in a conf file rather then give them vpn access to a UI that is only gonna be used a couple of hours by some random person 

, Tor is great for temporary .onion sites
