      It may if the IP is being shared with a lot of tor users or an attacker.

      Why use a VPN to access tor though.

        Probably if your country judges illegal to connect to the tor network, but not on a VPN. Iirc, a bridge could also hide the fact that you’re connecting to the tor network tho
