Please explain how safe it will be if you connect to tor through a vpn connection? Will the provider see my ip address? And are there any other pitfalls in such a connection?

You were right above. If you need it for small pranks, then the vpn scheme through tor is safe in principle, but not very. The provider will see the real ip address, but he will not know that you are using tor. Of the stones here, rather, that there is no protection at the exit nodes of the tor and the traffic is not safe. There is an interesting article about this blog.secretvpn.net/2017/07/Sovmestnoe-usepolzovanie...

If I were the security services, I would have questions after detecting an encrypted connection to a VPN service. And if necessary, the traffic is easily compared by timestamps and volume

Who are you hiding from?
If from the close attention of any special service of any country - in vain.
And if from a bored duty administrator of a local provider - yes, it will work.

The provider will see not only your address, but also the fact of connection to a certain VPN server. As you know, we have a VPN blocking law "on the machine", like in China , so the VPN will turn into "just another provider" that will either merge the logs on request ... or it will be blocked.
That is, of course, if you are defending yourself against Mr. Law. You don't even need Tor from your neighbor/wife/sniffer in a public Wi-Fi :)
