Dd-wrt routers can access onions?

I just replied to a comment that leads me to ask this. If I use a flashed router to dd-wrt and run a VPN client on it, can I still access onion sites?

To me it seems like my connection goes TOR>VPN and therefore couldn't reach an onion site. Am I wrong?

It's easy enough to go VPN>TOR so can I go VPN>TOR>VPN router? I'm sure my speed would be slower than agora on Xmas but I do know you can tunnel one VPN through another.

So having a dd-wrt router can I reach onion sites?

Also PS mods: having to scroll and click that agree button is a pain.

This is going to run VPN->TOR. It's no different than running a VPN program on your computer. That's actually good opsec depending on what VPN you're using. Your ISP will just see that you connected to a VPN, which is a type of service used by lots of people to connect to their work networks, etc. I actually am planning on setting up a VPN at my house to securely connect to my home computer when I'm on the road since I'm a trucker and all. To download torrents while I'm on the road...

Anyway, the ISP won't see that you're using tor.

You're not going to be able to make TOR->VPN work that simply, and it would literally be less anonymous than using just tor, so don't do it.

The big problem here is a lot of VPNs are slow. You're going to slow your home network down. If you download torrents over a VPN, you're going to deanonymize yourself + waste a shit ton of bandwidth for everyone using that VPN service. Don't download shit over VPN, for gods sake.

I run my vpn on a dedicated dd-wrt and access through tor. The rest of the household computers except my personal pc get straight on the net, my pc does run the same vpn but software based, but my pc never uses tor except maybe to download movies. Tails machine is dedicated. Paid vpn.

Or you could host your own private entrance node to TOR using AWS and basically tunnel into it.

VPN(Router) to VPN(PC) to TOR is how it would work in this case.

This is assuming your router takes an address sent by a PC and redirects it to the VPN it has installed first. See your PC will be sending an onion address to the router which funnels it into its own installed VPN. Then that VPN server cluster sends you out to your original TOR address.
