Comment (by dunqan):

 For reference, the onboarding flow currently discusses VPNs in the third
 slide here:

 [[Image(https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/raw-
 attachment/ticket/30514/tb-onboarding-privacy.png, 700px)]]

 However either first-time users are not reading this or it is not explicit
 enough in its advice.

 We have a short but direct bit of advice on support.tpo.org:
 https://support.torproject.org/faq/faq-5/

 And the General FAQ in our docs has a slightly longer explanation:
 https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#IsTorLikeAVPN

 So we probably need to:

 a. Update the onboarding with more direct language
 b. Link out to a more definitive explanation on support or docs (i.e. the
 new text Wayward is working on)
 c. Consider increasing the exposure of this topic in the onboarding if
 necessary, e.g. by featuring it in the slide title, using a text-highlight
 effect or creating a new slide entirely dedicated to this topic.

 Thanks!
