![]() ![]() With VPN your ISP can also see you are connecting to a particular IP.which they could if they wanted identify to a VPN provider. Especially when your entry and exit nodes are compromised or owned by your adversary (also happens, not just theoretical). An adversary would need to do traffic analysis attacks on you to see your real IP and the associated online behavior you're conducting, to make that connection of behavior to identity.which does happen and isn't as difficult as you might imagine. The TOR node you connect to can also see your real IP. This isn't necessarily a bad thing or unwanted in general, it depends on your own security and threat model. In addition, your ISP CAN see if you are connecting to a TOR node. However, with TOR, the entry and exit nodes, the node you connect to originally and the node that connects to your desitnation (like the node that ends up actually getting the data from the site you're visiting), are your security risk points. With both TOR and VPN connections, your ISP will no longer be able to identify what sites you visit. Activity being what sites you are visiting (which your ISP can also see if not being encrypted). With VPN you do need to trust a single point of contact.not necessarily to not read your data as it is encrypted.but moreso to not log or monitor your activity and IP address. Trustless doesn't mean they cannot be trusted, per se, it means they don't have to be trusted because no single node is fully relied upon for handling unencrypted traffic. ![]() It's "trustless" by design, allowing you to rely instead on the algorithms and coding behind how it handles your data in a decentralized fashion with many different trustless nodes. What this essentially means is you don't need to trust a single company/provider when using TOR. VPN is a centralized/single-point (for the most part) method. TOR is a decentralized approach to connecting to an endpoint. I'll try to do my best to narrow it down and simplify: This is a somewhat complex and highly debated topic.
