Never heard of forcing VPN providers to block something. Kinda defeats the purpose. Long live Tor I guess?
Tor + vpn can circumvent these blocks?
Don't combine. Just use tor or a VPN.
I still don't have an understanding whether this meaningfully downgrades Tor's security. Because if there was no extra harm, it would be helpful when bridges are blocked frequently, but some VPN services (or just your own VPS setup) have a better obfuscation.
