  • Good, but…

    **Updated — Kevin seems to have a new mic or fixed his old one, he’s now much clearer. Have added an extra star**

    This podcast needs a bit more energy and oomph. Also Kevin might need a new microphone, I can’t hear him very well.

Q: What is the risk of using Tor with a VPN compared to using Tor alone?
