You can avoid getting detection rates with malware by different methods of cryptography and most likely other un-related methods.

Although a brief overview of this VPN seems promising you should always keep in mind that a VPN provider might lie or exaggerate on their features, if put enough pressure they can track you down depending on the situation and could get hacked. You should always use Tor instead of any other anonymity service just because it's open source and it's being suggested by respected figures in the security field. 


Other than the previously mentioned options there's a few theoretical methods, some more likely than others but I don't really think they belong in this thread.

Using Tor alone isn't sufficient either. A VPN with Tor is ideal.

Using anti-virus is a best practice in general for most people.

Using your logic, no one should use anything because everything is hackable. It's about serializing mitigating controls. The more well placed and configured controls the less the likelihood of data leakage.

Thank you for the feedback but "This tutorial isn't for getting away with doing illegal activities." I'm not talking about people who dox, swat, ddos, etc. The average person that only plays games or talks to people, etc. Not for someone who is being targeted daily.

Lastpass have had several vulnerabilities in the past. It wouldn't have mattered if you used an anonymity service, this is literally the worst case cenario and the exploitation process is actually not that difficult to deploy. Meaning I don't trust them with my information, and someone serious about their anonymity shouldn't either.

I'm not well researched on the Tor and VPN combination beside the fact that VPN's should be used for privacy and Tor for anonymity, as well as the fact that The Grugq recommends using Tor before you run the VPN program. I'd be grateful for some thoughts about it.

Using an anti-virus is a good practice, from a security perspective.

No, I'm saying the guide is okay but It's giving false promises. In practice and in theory purely this won't make you as safe as you possibly can be.
