Using both means that your VPN can see everything you do through TOR. It kind of defeats the point; you might as well just use one or the other.

There may be another way to configure it, but if you're not savvy, it's best to just use TOR (or a VPN depending on your needs).

Here is a good resource: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorPlusVPN

Thanks. I has assumed that TOR was encrypting from your computer to the next layer in the onion which would be on the other side of the VPN, but apparently I misunderstood. Thanks for the link. I'll read up on it.
