It is technically possible to do, but it is unlikely to help. The way Tor works is already kind of like a VPN but more so. Using Tor over a VPN is redundant, slows things down, adds no privacy benefit, and can reduce your anonymity: https://support.torproject.org/tor-browser/general/vpn-with-tor/ When you are using Tor Browser you can make it construct a new circuit (ctrl-shift-L) when you get blocked, which should IMO show better results than combining tor and a vpn. per their wiki this also applies to ssh tunnels
