I wonder how this will effect vpn users of tor

VPN shouldn't make a difference

It may if the IP is being shared with a lot of tor users or an attacker.
Why use a VPN to access tor though.

Probably if your country judges illegal to connect to the tor network, but not on a VPN. Iirc, a bridge could also hide the fact that you're connecting to the tor network tho

It's an interesting feature and will be eager to see it in action. Surely hope it stays dormant most of the time though.

Does this PoW deannonymise tor.
