How could I connect anonymously to a ClearNet VPS?

As you know, the SSH connection is a good form of security. However, it can see your exit ip. Is it ideal to use a VPN or use Tor?

Tor for this case, stop giving vpn providers any more undeserved revenue, They will be the first ones to turn on you!!!

IF you want a vpn in the future what i recommend you to do is buying a vps with monero from a ⚠️reputable provider⚠️ and configure it to host a vpn , And that will be less costly than a VPN subscription but you will limited to only one ip unless you add a bunch of ips to your vps plan or rent a bunch of machines from the same provider in multiple countries so you wont have a single point of failure in the future .

Thank you for the reply. I believe that at the time everyone would choose VPN because of the upload and file transfer speed. But there is nothing more important than security.

You do realize the vps uses it's own high speed Internet from the provider's data center right?

unless you're uploading files from your local machine to the vps through the vpn and that's a bad idea !!!!

if you ask me, what would i recommend you to do if that's the case, put all your files in a compressed archive and then encrypt it with gpg asymmetrically or symmetricly using a strong passphrase and then upload the encrypted archive to a public clear net file sharing website and then download it from the os that you use to access tor after that re upload it to a different website and finally download into the vps.

Yes, I know I can now. But as we are dealing with server configuration (which depends on the server itself) and file transmission (which depends on the network latency between me and the vps, it is slower), so, as mentioned in the comment above, it is important to upload to the cloud and encrypt, then download within the vps without having to go through an upload between my machine and the vps.

What is the speed you are looking for upload/download?

Tor as far as I know, gets on average 5-20MB/s.

So that ensures both uploading and downloading are encrypted.
