Hey, if you want a fast anonymity netowrk, there are commercial providers. Companies doing research on thier competition use these to hide thier true idents from targets. They are not cheap (not free but cheaper than AWS imho) but have much greater functionality than tor.

For most people seeking anonymity via Tor network (whistleblowers, journalists, activists, etc.), paying a company who can then subsequently be compelled to hand over your information is a bad choice.

And in most other scenarios, Authentic8 is probably still a bad choice. If you require a FedRAMP-authorized service, then sure, look at Authentic8.
