Ah, no. A vpn stands for virtual private network. It basically extends a private network over the public network which is the internet.
TOR allows you to access the deep web, which you can't via VPN.
So basically ,a VPN keeps you safe (your IP untraceable, or so they say)but you can't access the deep web.
I don't trust a lot of VPNs. Ehm, I suggest you don't either because most are crap. You don't know, in truth, if a VPN is working or not. To you, it won't seem any different than using chrome incognito, as the end user. You don't see if it is working or not. So I wouldn't trust them.
Honestly, as a common plebe, like myself, the best thing you can use a VPN for is to change your IP to another country. Like, for australians, use VPN when you log into steam and seem american so you pay american dollars at american rates for games. But your entire life, you'll have to be an american by VPN to access steam or the charade is done for.
