Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Nobody should ever feel like this. Privacy is a right. I use VPN's exclusively purely because I don't want my ISP to mine me for information, then sell it to the highest bidder.
I agree privacy is a right.
The government definitely disagrees though. So yes you should be wary of rawdogging a Tor connection, unfortunately
So what's the proper way? Tor plus VPN?
In my opinion yes as long as you have one that is actually trustworthy. Mullvad comes to mind since it famously got raided and was found by authorities to keep zero logs like they promised.
Tor developers disagree but I think this is from the ideology that "it isn't illegal to use Tor!!" Which is correct but it absolutely does make you a target in any of the 14 eyes countries and beyond.
Don’t listen to the bad advice about combining VPNs with TOR. You are a thousand times more likely to fuck up your VPN configuration and make it vulnerable. Therefore you’re better off just sticking with TOR which has been very carefully thought through by a lot of very smart people for decades.
