You don't need a VPN when you use tor. In fact, it's probably less secure since it's going through a private server that might have a government black box hooked up. Also, no FBI or CIA agent is ever gonna tell you to use tor???
There's a popular conspiracy theory that Tor is a FBI/CIA honeypot
I assume that's what this is about
But based on my understanding of Tor, you are correct. I always disconnect from my VPN when using Tor
It's more complicated than just "conspiracy theory". They have taken over servers and run honeypots busting cp creators and distributors.
Running a honey pot and baiting people into revealing their identity (what's actually happened), and the network itself being a honeypot, are two very different things
