Jesus Christ the online tut I learned from insisted that you use a VPN cause its supposedly the only way the "whoever" wont be able to find out youre using tor. Do you mean that by using a VPN with tor users within the tor environment (for want of a more technically correct term) are able to see that youre on a VPN? where do I read more about this shit broseph?I can tell you 100% finding out your ip address or dns is not the only way to find out who you are
It might be the easiest, but it is by no means the only way
Also as @Splinty says below, both tor and a VPN can be compromised
Finally
Don't use a VPN with tor!
Seriously, you stick out like a sore thumb and make it easier to find out who you are
The point of the tor networks is to make everyone look the same, thus making everyone anonymous
