5 September 2020

VPN provides you with encrypted and private tunnel between your device and the VPN server. Double VPN is more powerful use of VPN technology – it forwards your encrypted traffic through two VPN servers instead of one. Internet traffic is encrypted twice.

For example, with a double VPN your connection is twice as secure, anonymous and private by connecting through France and Netherlands, instead of just server in France.

There are different types of double VPNs - double-hop, multi-hop, cascading, nested, or chained VPNs. The main concept is using two or more secure tunnels consecutively.

Avoid censorship
