Is your question:
"Can law enforcement determine the real source IP if I use a VPS as a VPN gateway?" If so, the answer is yes. Either with a scary email or a warrant, they can dump the memory contents of your VM. In some cases they can live migrate a copy and do forensics on it. They can also capture traffic flows to and from your VPS node.
If your question is: "Can the average internet server determine my source IP?" The answer is no, provided that you force all traffic, including DNS queries, over your VPN. There are sites you can use for simple leak detection. [1] [2]

- JoshLuz 8y agoAre you sure the VPS ISP won’t see the destination IP of the softether tunnel? (My real pc) I knew that they won’t for sure see what’s inside that tunnel but what about the destination?
- LinuxBender 8y agoWhen you say "destination IP of the softether tunnel (your real PC)" Do you mean that you have 2 PC's tunneled to each other over that VPN? If so, the VPN provider would of course see both ends of their tunnel.
- JoshLuz 8y agoNo, only one pc, mine. But I think is the same they will spot the destination of the vpn tunnel. What about chaining more than one configuration like this? I mean, if so, the VPS Provider will see in the ending of the softether vpn tunnel another vps provider chained so may this configuration help me in terms of anonimity? Maybe chaining 3 or 4 configuration like this could increase a lot the time one potential attacker will spend to resolve all the node. In your opinion chaining VPN (VPNinception) could give me more anonimity?
