protonvpn-cli-connect: Connect to ProtonVPN using the fastest Tor-supporting server.
$ protonvpn-cli connect --tor
try on your machine

The command "protonvpn-cli connect --tor" is used to connect to ProtonVPN's servers using the Tor network.

ProtonVPN is a virtual private network (VPN) service that provides online security, privacy, and anonymity by encrypting and routing your internet connection through their servers.

Tor, short for "The Onion Router," is a network of volunteer-operated servers that allows users to establish a secure and anonymous connection to the internet. It works by encrypting your data and routing it through multiple servers worldwide, making it difficult for others to trace your online activities.

When you use the "protonvpn-cli connect --tor" command, you are instructing the ProtonVPN command-line interface (CLI) tool to connect to a ProtonVPN server using the Tor network. This means that your internet traffic will be encrypted and routed through both the ProtonVPN servers and the Tor network, providing an additional layer of privacy and anonymity.

By combining the security features of ProtonVPN with the anonymity offered by Tor, you can enhance your online privacy and protect your identity from online surveillance, censorship, or other potentially malicious actions.
