Nowadays any decent usenet provider has SSL so no need to bother with the inferior options.

True, it would be slow as you say above, but it would be an abuse of the Tor network in the same way as torrents – see . https://blog.torproject.org/blog/bittorrent-over-tor-isnt-good-idea

Tor hates BitTorrent traffic (see under #1 at https://www.cogipas.com/how-to-torrent-safely/) and Usenet can generate even more GBs of traffic at the same or even higher speeds, so consider dropping #4 off the list. While a premium VPN (#3 on your list) can handle Usenet, I don’t think Tor should be used for Usenet.

Then again, I stand to be corrected! Let’s see if this generates some discussion.
