I feel old. I've been advising people to get a trusted VPN and use that tunnel to purchase a second trusted (unrelated) VPN and double tunnel, with at least the first VPN being outside of your country. The first sees your payment details (if you gave them one) and IP but can only see traffic to the second vpn. The second sees your traffic but can only see the first VPN's IP and hopefully they let you pay anonymously there as well.
Of course, with my way and Obscura, you should use a leak-proof setup that doesn't rely on you OS/device being nice (looking at MS and Apple there).
- CommitSyn 3y agoWhat's your method for "double tunneling" as, on Windows at least, you can't run two VPN providers at the same time as far as I've seen. I'd love to know if that were possible. I've seen mention of a tool that allows groups of trusted individuals to use each other's VPN connections to create a tunnel, but that's with each computer running a different VPN service.
- wkat4242 3y agoUse a VM, route all traffic and link out to another VM that does the second VPN. Good thing about that too is it avoids leaks, as long as you set your adapters right.
- CommitSyn 3y agoI've tried this before but couldn't get it to work. What are the VM settings required? Do you need an external card that can do passthru or whatever it's called like you do for wardriving?
- _8j50 3y agoLike I said, don't even use windows for the vpn. Route windows through a local box (could be an RPI), that does the VPN and leak protection.
- msm_ 3y agoWhy not just use tor? If you want you can also buy a VPN with tor and use it to connect to tor later. It just sounds better than chained VPNs in every way.
- HeartStrings 3y agoProbably because half of the websites will block you, but are fine with VPNs
- _8j50 3y agoSlow, hostile exits, lots of sites block exits, can't easily pick geography of an exit. The Obscura site alo lists similar reason in the faq.
