Any success using tornado ????

Was reading the info posted on the site, It's crazy. Sounds like they calling out everybody from uniswap aave to metamask as blockchain resources that aren't fully trustworthy towards anonymity.

How does one clean up to prepare for a boat trip. Is tornado cash still working? It says to change RPC endpoint, has anybody successfully done this? Which wallets work best? Is there a safer means to do all this?

My understanding is best its done all within an hour or 2, bridge between evm & non-evm few times and always use vpn.

Any suggestions of feedback to share (for educational & entertainment purposes)
