Question About VPN

Currently just bought a VPN and have a question...

On my VPN I can choose to "protect Wifi" and "Surf Anonymously"

Now I am wondering when I have those activated, which I do... Do I need to do anything else to have my tor network go thru the VPN or because I have "protect Wifi" and "Surf Anonymously" turned on my Tor connection will automatically be routed thru the VPN?

Noob question I know, but just want to stay safe.

Thanks for the help!

No idea exactly what software you're using but you can easily tell if it's working: browse with an ordinary clearnet browser like firefox to http://iplocation.net - if the IP address it sees is associated with your local ISP you are not browsing with a vpn.

Also check https://whoer.net/ - what does it reveal about your pc and dns? I would highly recommend to run VPN on your router level which is pretty awesome
