If you use Firefox Containers with the Container Proxy extension, you can set certain container groups to use TOR and some to use Direct. Makes it easier to do Tor and Non-tor in one browser. Sometimes sites don't work and it can be a pain 

 I just went with the Start9 instructions. I have no issues other than when tor is being a dick like tor can be sometimes. I mainly only use it to connect to my btc and xmr nodes on the server
