Thanks for the reply. Guess SE was wrong about the configs. If you don't mind me asking, why cc for the first hop? Also, vpnchains explicitly says they can't protect against adversaries with a global view od the network. That was the main weakness I assumed this would probably have. I'd buy that it protects from for instance VPN providers selling logs.

I use a card for the first one because it's gotta know my IP, and my ISP can link me to my IP. Nothing can protect from adversaries with a global view of the internet. At least, for low-latency activity. If the latency is high enough, and there's lots of chaff, there's maybe a chance. Or at least, there are too many false positives to deal with. Otherwise, you just make it harder. Once you have more than a couple VPNs in a chain, and especially if you switch chains frequently, latency varies a lot. So that likely helps too. Edit: There is nothing in OpenVPN about routing one VPN through another. That's all done in the host networking stack, or using multiple routers with NAT forwarding. There is, however, a SOCKS5 proxy option, which you can use to route a VPN through Tor. Or you can just run a VPN server as an onion service.
