If the VPN does log/cooperates, then you are in an identical position to as if you used Tor over ISP instead of Tor over VPN.Ī lot of people in r/tor believe that Tor over VPN can leave you in a worse position by 'increasing your attack surface' or by 'making VPN a permanent entry node'. If they do not log/cooperate with law enforcement, then your IP address will never be associated to the website.

If you use Tor over VPN in this case, the attacker will get the IP address of your VPN.

and the ISP will hand it over immediately without a warrant. They will ask your ISP for your name, address, phone number, and etc. So if you are visiting on accident, as you say, then the NSA will put your IP on their shit list. (It is important to remember: they only know the website you visted, not the particular content of the website/links in the website, assuming you are using HTTPS). However, there is a chance that an attacker can control the entry and exit nodes which your network happens to be routed through, and can then perform a correlation attack where they associate your IP address to the website you visited.
