Since at least 2017, a mysterious threat actor has run thousands of malicious servers in entry, middle, and exit positions of the Tor network in what a security researcher has described as an attempt to deanonymize Tor users.
A VPN is not the ultimate solution. The endpoint of a VPN can be infiltrated just like a middle relay of a Tor network. The same applies to logging. Everything has its purpose, and a VPN is not a solution for anonymity, because the connection can always be traced. A VPN is a solution when you need to get into a protected network. A Mech-VPN, such as Wireguard, has the best use case for connecting multiple servers to securely exchange data between them. And I2P and Tor are the best solutions for Anonymity.
I know, but it’s also a valid methode. Also to use P2P with people you know is a good methode. But if you want or need to use the normal Internet, there are much harder to protect you from the worse.
There are a lot of diferent systems used by the webpage to track and spy the user, you can test all of these in the page Browserleaks (The test with my browser and protections I use show a good protection, all values are wrong or no disponible, except that I use Spain as my language, because I don’t use a VPN in this test)
You can protect you from the most of them, spoofing, blocing or giving it randomised fake values with some apps or extensions, with this you are reasonably protected for normal use against a malicious hacker who wants to access your PC, but if secret services or governments with or without a court order, want to spy on you, none of this helps you, nor VPN nor Tor
Naturally you can’t do much about going for a server that was intercepted or contaminated.
You can use a strong protection, like the CyDec platform, despite it isn’t OpenSource, it’s a enterprise system which works on browser and OS level, with which, if you want, you can apear in the web as someone who posted with an old Pentium and Windoows 95 with IE, from a island in the Pacific, but at the price that half of the webpage don’t work for you if you activate all the protection it has. It’s the strongest privacy tool i know.
You can try a extensión from CyDec for free, but with reduced functions.

The rest depends on yourself
