You might get a private (speak unique, always same) VPN IP depending on the VPN provider. They could consider it a feature. So you would be banned nowhere as opposed to a shared VPN IP.
@entr0py: I was wondering about this also. This is what ended up in documentation…
From Combining Tunnels with Tor
When using a browser, worsens web fingerprint. It is unknown how anonymous it is to use user → (proxy/VPN/SSH ->) Tor → Proxy/VPN/SSH → Tor Browser → website. How many people show up with a proxy, VPN or SSH IP using Tor Browser? This setup is so special that probably only very few people are doing it. For this reason, recommend against. On the other hand, due to browser fingerprinting, it can’t be recommend using any browser other than Tor Browser either.
Tor Browser:
- few are using user → (proxy/VPN/SSH ->) Tor → Proxy/VPN/SSH → Tor Browser → website
- you are the one using VPN IP xyz using Tor Browser of very few
- defenses against cookie tracking etc.
other browsers:
- others likely also use some with with some browser
- no defenses against tracking whatsoever (that is as difficult as creating Tor Browser)
Maybe the documentation can/should be improved on that. /cc @HulaHoop
