Tor

I had been using tor before signing up for PP. Is there any point in continuing to run tor and use the tor FF browser if PP VPN is also running?
 
Isn't PP providing some measure of anonymity by routing through servers in their network? Or do I need to turn on another feature for multi-hop routing? I didn't see that in the linux PP mgr. I'm a newbie to this so perhaps I'm asking the wrong questions.
 
Depends on who you want to be anonymous from. Message boards, silly websites, the yes, VPN provides that layer. Anything where you merely need to be not your ISP IP. Drastically increasing the odds that you would never get caught torrenting. Yep.

Anything more than that, you move over into the Tor+VPN realm to reach a higher level. I'd say 90% of people have no legitimate reason to need more than a VPN alone though.
