questions on opsec

Is using a hardwired connection a bad idea when accessing the DNMs? Is a vpn and Tor just as good/worse than using tails off a USB drive? I currently run a linux distro which I have configured a VPN on and always make sure I am connected before opening tor which I run off a USB drive as to not leave hard evidence on my pc. I was having issues with my wifi the other night and hardwired my connection to access the darknet.. Is this a no-no? I'm not an idiot when it comes to computers and technology but I am a little confused when it comes to VPN's and how exactly the connection is masked(?) from ISP's, etc.

Best way to do that is to pull all the HDs and run JUST off the CD or USB.

No. It's basically the same, because you are still connecting to your ISP using your cable / DSL modem.
