is it possible to DIY something like this, and is it worth the hassle? my thought was 2 VPS and use Wireguard multihop. VPS 0 connected from my home router, VPS 1 connected to VPS 0 via private networking (ideally in a different geo location). recycle VPS 1 IP/location periodically. VPN from mobile to home router and get the benefits on the go, with dnsmasq blocking ad hosts in VPS 1 so tracking crap ideally doesn't make it over the wire. thoughts?

I have a VPN travel router with a Mullvad .OVPN profile added. This 'VPN-ifies' all my traffic. Then I have a VPN app I use on my device from another VPN provider (ProtonVPN). This is chaining two distinct VPN providers on top of each other, a form of onion routing. Does it make me 'more' private? Hardly, but it's a good first step.

But with your setup, the 2 VPS are still traceable to you (ie. via payment information). You can go through some extra effort to avoid this (eg. buying the VPS over tor and paying using crypto), but I'm guessing you're not currently doing this. Moreover, the 2 VPS are still carrying only your traffic, which makes logging/correlation attacks easier. With apple's solution, your traffic is mixed with others, and the second hop has no idea who you are.
