Chained VPN routing through multiple gateways.

Definition

Multihop uses chained tunnels or layered routing through multiple gateways to increase separation between ingress and egress and complicate traffic correlation.

In plain English Chained VPN routing through multiple gateways.

Why this matters

Why it matters: It can improve resistance to single-point observation but adds latency and complexity.

Example

Example: Two-hop routing with distinct entry and exit nodes within a VPN provider network.
