So really, "no value in mixing," which is distinct from "don't mix."
The latter implies a security risk could be created.
The risk of mis-ordering your layers is a security issue.
If you're using tour vpn at the system or network level, and tor at the browser level, is there a risk of mis-ordering?
A security risk is created, you're creating a permanent guard node by using your VPN with TOR. A lot of people downplay how serious this can be against a dedicated attacker. Sure, it may not matter for most, but for those with the right threat model, it will.
So VPN first then Tor is ill advised for this, or only the reverse? What is the potential attack in running Tor while on VPN?
