Double VPN

Network Privacy

Two-hop chained VPN egress architecture.

Definition

Double VPN uses a chained two-hop routing path with separate entry and exit gateways, aiming to reduce single-node observation of both client and destination.

In plain English Two-hop chained VPN egress architecture.

Why this matters

Why it matters: It may improve correlation resistance but cannot overcome provider-side visibility if logs or linking exist.

Example

Example: Entry node decrypts one layer and forwards to an exit node that connects to the destination.
