TOR vs VPN, a futile discussion that has been in existence for the last five to ten years. The two are different technologies but they are designed to fulfill the same purpose: anonymity and unrestricted access. However, there are some differences between TOR (The Onion Router) and VPN (Virtual Private Network) which you might want to consider before choosing one of them.
The two anonymity tools, Tor and VPN, are often confused to be rivals, as assumed by a general internet user. But the question about the rivalry between the two is as vague as it is to compare a burger and french fries. Both of them are meant to satisfy our belly, and the burger + fries combination does a commendable job enhancing our taste.
Talking about our anonymity saviors, they can be understood as two modes of transportation, like an airplane and a bus. VPN is like an airplane which is faster but costlier. And TOR, like a bus, is slower but cheap (actually free).
A bus can pick you up right outside your house, but that’s not the case with the airplane. This refers to availability. It takes minutes to get Tor up and running as there is only a single variant of it. On the other hand, one has to compare various VPN services before choosing the best one.
TOR and VPN are meant to provide anonymity to you and help you hide your data and location from any “middle-man” existing in the network you’re connected to.
