asking for the kind that vpn hides tor and not the other way

i have a framework with whonix in qubes using tor browser (real one i think not brave) and idk if im safe.

i want to use wifi in public (food places and schools) and be hard to spy on and not have anything blocked (videos are blocked). my home network is also phoning home because my family is using a google wireless access point (cant change it they dont like having internet down for more than 5 seconds)

would vpn and tor fix this? should i pick just one? or is there a better way? (all things have to be on device since you cant change someone elses network)

The point is if you want to hide the fact you use tor, while yes it will hide you from the entry node, the beauty of the tor system is it has more than one point of failure, using a VPN makes the VPN a single point of failure since knows who you are and what website you are going to. That being said, I'm to lazy to split tunnel when I feel like using Tor, my traffic doesn't really need that level of animinity anyways
