you misunderstood. The question was, why I use VPN and not TOR. TOR is
too slow for some applications. Try watching a youtube video through
tor, this is often stuttering.

Another reason why I prefer vpn: only apps capable of socks5 can use
TOR. With a vpn client on my router I can anonymize ALL traffic, even
those of tablets, smartphones, smart tv, game consoles etc.
