VPN and Tor

I recently started using PIA VPN and Tor as my browser for the shroomery and other sites. They do normally run really slow on here? I have major lag issues and pages won't load etc. Any suggestions? I switch VPN regions regularly also.

I've also been blocked from posting by shroomery sometimes when using VPN/Tor. They say it's due to abuse. TOR generally runs slow because there aren't enough volunteer relays.

I still use Tor. I don't get blocked every time. I understand the problem, abuse sometimes comes through Tor. I'm not willing to go without the privacy though. Not this year. Maybe when shrooms are legal.

Ok cool. Yeah I've continued using Tor and PIA VPN. I have a feeling tor may lose the secure connection thus the lag. Thank for your help.
-------------------- Yeah, yeah.

I wonder why shroomery doesn't have a .onion address.

Using a VPN and tor simultaneously is not necessary. They are both encrypted tunnels and all your traffic is within. An encrypted tunnel inside another offers little protection, it just slows down your network.
Tor network is experiencing many DDoS attacks at the moment so the connections can be very slow. The tor project is aware and are working on fixing it.
There has not been a need for Shroomery to have a tor portal. You may be surprised to find out that people growing shrooms at home for themselves is not really that big a deal for police, that the cost of trying to deanonymise people and find their home grows is great and does not sit on public interest. There's no dealers here, no money or violent crime generating criminals. Just a bunch of people from all over the world being themselves.
Just stick with a VPN if you are really concerned about your online security. If your VPN is not US based and doesn't keep logs it is enough.

The nearest we ever come to knowing truth is when we are witness to paradox.
