I’m getting a 0x0F error when connecting to certain ( far most) onion websites. They do work but not when I’m using a VPN.
What am I missing?
Some sites like search engines will work. But almost all sites will die with that error when I go to it.
It works without having VPN on.
Then don’t turn your VPN on…?
Don’t use a vpn literally defeats the purpose of tor use a bridge
why are you using a vpn on top of tor that will just make it slower
If its a must, look at nordvpn onion VPN or something similar
But it’s supposed to work. And it’s not even consistent as some websites do work.
It just makes no sense that some sites works. Others don’t. If the site was down I could understand.
Or if no onion sites worked it would make sense.
But this doesn’t.
Why does it defeat the purpose?
The problem is that I have things that I need to run via VPN at the same time as I’d like to use tor. So I can’t just turn off the VPN. Then my regular browser ans other apps would expose my real ip.
Using a VPN does not defeat the purpose of Tor. Tor would be useless then. As long as you use Tor over VPN and not VPN over Tor it should be fine for most threat models, it just will not make you more anonymous either.

I’m not.
I’m using tor on top of VPN.
Let me explain since people seem to misunderstand it here.
I have VPN running.
I then use messenger service and websites that I’ll run via regular browser. These sites are clearnet sites.
I also have toe browser running at the same time that I connect to onion sites.
BUT :
Except the search engines and some sites like indexs of onion sites, I’ll get the 0x0f error when trying to access sites that are on tor.
What I’m having problems with is why the heck these sites won’t load in tor browser if I’m on VPN.
It doesn’t block all the tor sites. So it’s not consistent.
That’s the problem.
Pia VPN dont seem to work anymore.
But what’s weird is that it seems to be the case for just some sites.
Ohhh see what you mean now probably try another vpn service then
That’s what I’m saying using a vpn literally makes you more obvious. Just by tor with tails is fine this guy is saying he uses the vpn with tor because he doesn’t to reveal him self when using other stuff besides stuff. Wich be another topic but me personally I think tor is fine no vpn just makes you more obvious
Yes. And that’s the whole problem. Most sites I go to via tor don’t work. It gives me the error I’ve mentioned.
But without VPN it works so clearly the site isn’t down
That’s the problem I’ve been trying to work out.
Thing is. It worked in the past.
Plus it doesn’t block every single onion site. That’s what puzzles me.
Yeah. I might need to try a different service.
You just described exactly what OpSec is not.
For the threat model of most people there is nothing wrong with using Tor Browser while having other programs open in the background. Just do not confuse Tor Browser with another regular browser. Exactly this is even covered in the official Tor Browser FAQ.

I’m not logged in to anything that is connected to me while I’m doing that. I’m not stupid.
But I just wonder why I get that 0x0F error when trying to access certain toe sites while I’m on VPN.
It doesn’t make sense that it’s only some ( far most) websites that gives this error while things like tor search and such works fine.
What is more obvious even supposed to mean?
