This can be addressed by using tunnels to create multiple hops.
See for example: Tunneling tunnels within tunnels (inside of tunnels) — https://cryptostorm https://cryptostorm DOT is/blog/multitun (I broke the url because otherwise HN is incorrectly marking the comment as [dead])
It would be great if Mullvad adds multi-hop support (>2) based on something like that.
Another possibility is to create a VPN on top of a Mixnet like Nym: https://nymtech.net/ https://nymtech.net/.
- burnaway 4y agointeresting idea on Nym, I'd like to discuss this further for a potential project, if you are interested you can find me email in my bio
- favourable 4y agoMulti hop makes traffic analysis harder, but I wouldn't use the VPN provider's multi-hop feature, instead I do my own. So the first hop would be Mullvad, then the second hop would be ProtonVPN. There is a small performance penalty for doing this, but it's tolerable.
