    Don’t confuse TOR with security, you can get exposed to use the Onion without an additional encrytion layer or VPN. TOR cannot encrypt the traffic between an exit relay and the destination server.

      Sure, like any security it operates in layers

      Totally disagree that Tor does not address security. The loophole you mention is indeed well known, but again it’s an exploit like anything

      And like any security thing, you stack a few layers to get the real world security

        The TOR network is certainly pretty secure, but it’s always advisible to use it in the Onion not without an additional layer, at least with a good VPN. Anyway I think that the future is in a descentralized web (I2P, Hyphanet, Snowflake, Shadowsocks and similar), the normal Internet is to heavy controlled by big companies and govs.
