Especially connecting from home can be risky, one mistake and it can be all over. Therefore high threat level users must consider what the local environment offers.
In all the above do not have the device that connects to Internet in your premises, place it at common areas where everyone has access. Further on, use cables from that device so it connects to every apartment and office in one or several properties (old RG-58 would be perfect). This way you will achieve plausible deniability.

I’d just add one thing:
Even when using setups like SIM routers or directional antennas (Yagi), don’t underestimate pattern analysis. Connecting at the same time, day after day, from the same neighborhood, even with technical obfuscation, still builds a statistical fingerprint. Rotate both locations and schedules.
Also, agreed on not having the connection device inside your premises running Ethernet from a hallway utility box, abandoned flat, or even a power-over-Ethernet setup from a decoy device in a common area can offer serious deniability.
And for anyone considering connecting directly from home with VPN -> Tor: remember, VPNs see your real IP, and VPN logs + metadata + timing attacks are a real vector if you're ever targeted.
