I wouldn't recommend using Tor. Tor is solely running off of volunteers who contribute nodes to their community (A node being a virtual check point that is supposed to intercept, encrypt and redirect your traffic). A volunteer can be literally anyone including hackers and the government.

Tor routes your traffic using multiple layers of nodes. Yes, there's a good chance some nodes could be compromised, but redundancy makes up for that.
There's absolutely nothing that stops a VPN provider from being a malicious actor either.
This is why we have layered security.
