Well,I know some good and bad hackers (I am one of them btw 
) who use tails live with whonix and tor.
Also Tails has published it’s first stable version 1 or 2 months ago…
But if you want my advice in this VPN topic, I have to say that all VPN protocols are broken.The best VPN protocol and most trusted is OpenVPN which I am 100% has many holes that many cyber security companies have discovered without sharing them.
So my fast answer to @D4rkhunt3r is that VPN gives you no security or anonymity,nor proxies or proxychains.
If I wanted to stay anonymous to attack to a small target,I would buy a Pi with tails live and would connect with another whonix based device and via TOR with DNS Watch I would connect to another wifi (WPA2 can be cracked easily with KRACK), and do my job.
VPNs,Proxychains etc. just do not work.
Even TOR has discovered holes which we do not know,also whonix…
You understand that if you attack to some good target,he will find you.
