what the title says. what are the dangers of connecting to a vps that utilizes tor over tor? would this be a tor over tor situation? (assume the vps was purchased anonymously)

It’s not entirely clear what you mean by “a vps that utilizes tor”. The VPS has Tor installed I’m guessing, but how is it configured to use it? Is it acting as a relay? A guard or exit node? Is it hosting a hidden service?
If the VPS is hosting a Tor hidden service, and it is configured to allow SSH or similar connectivity via that hidden service, then SSH’ing into it via that service should be no less anonymous than accessing any other Tor hidden service, as I understand it. Without knowing more about your setup though, it’s hard to say if this is the case for your VPS or not.

i have already seen this i dont see where it describes the risks of connecting to a vps that utilizes tor over tor, and i do not desire to use a hidden service as connecting to a reverse proxy over tor allows connections over the clearnet
