You could always use a VPN alongside Tor. I would recommend you use something like Mullvad or iVPN.

A vpn could work yeah i suppose, altho would that not make everything unbearably slow?

You can adjust it much better.  I suggest you to read that in a quite minute: {link redacted}

No thanks, but how does it feel not being able to circuit switch? One constant tunnel provides a lot less security and leaves you much more vulnerable to MITM attacks and Sybil attacks.

You can install multiple tunnels on one VPS server... However, this is not an either - or decision. If you go for that you should link a second independent VPN provider to fully exploit the potential. If I have to choose then I would also pic a classic OpenVPN solution - totally agree with you

I'm talking about the Tor circuits and how Tor is designed. I can't tell you how many times I have had to explain to clients how Tor actually works.

Which TOR service do you offer?

I don't. I've just been around it long enough and I've researched it for myself and people I work with. I'm a cybersecurity analyst and malware researcher. I see Tor used daily. I also see many people that don't really understand why VPN is bad for Tor usage.

On a purely Tor related basis there are also plausible arguments against a TOR VPN thats true. if I direct my traffic through a few trusted and finetuned VPN/Poxy App VMs before I route everything through whonix gateway thats a different thing then of course. But apart from all that - using healthy TOR Bridges is definitely a great benefit in almost any possible scenario.
Awesome! Cybersecurity is a very fascinating topic! I have a background in the same field
