I will wait until it's tested and proven to be secure. Tor has been around for a long time, and most of the vulnerabilities has been exposed by it's huge user base. Who are the people behind this project, and how skilled and experienced are they to take on the likes of the hackers being contracted by these agencies to poke holes in this software?

I usually do not trust VPN's and believe them to be honey traps for these agencies. The only reason most people want to use them, are to hide some illegal actions anyway. The small percentage of people who use them to protect their privacy, is not worth the mention.

These VPN's also attract a lot of attention from these agencies, if they are found to be popular and not hackable. They will concentrate all efforts to hack it, and eventually they crack it, and everyone is exposed.
