With the amount of countries, governments and social platforms all of a sudden censoring and banning VPNs all at once (they are using pr0n as an excuse to destroy our internet privacy) over the last few days, the utility of Tor has just skyrocketed.

Even if we are decentralization enthusiasts the bitter fact is everyday that passes centralization is taking over every thing and sadly people no longer value decentralization as it should. Running nodes and lightning channels are also enthusiastic moves and it was over time when I knew more about nodes I found out how important it is to run a node for absolute privacy.

As for your suggestion it's a fine one tor VPNs have that feature in their software. So long anyone isn't put at risk I bet members here will buy the idea too.

Even the centralization system of the crypto ecosystem market is not like before again. The government have made the centralized system very difficult for users. Converting of coins was not charge but now it is charged and some exchange take up to $5+ just to convert crypto. As it is I can't make a transaction of Bitcoin from exchange to non custodial wallets or to another exchange onchain.
There was some element of privacy in CEX but now it is not again. Now you add your KYC in the level one but it was not that in those days. It was in level two KYC was asked fully. Someone made a comment on the gambling sector that, he can't use the Tor browser to access casinos again. And I believed all those were from the regulatory.
