DoubleVPN

▲ ▼

description DoubleVPN Overview

DoubleVPN was a VPN service marketed around the use of two VPN servers in sequence, a method commonly called double VPN or multi-hop routing. Sending traffic through two locations can make it harder to associate the connection with the original IP address, although it does not guarantee anonymity or protect against every form of tracking. The service later became associated with criminal investigations and was seized by law-enforcement agencies, so it is primarily a historical example of a privacy service.

help DoubleVPN FAQ

What does DoubleVPN mean?

DoubleVPN refers to routing traffic through two VPN servers in sequence, also called multi-hop routing. The extra hop can make it harder to connect the traffic with the original IP address.

Is DoubleVPN more private than a single VPN server?

Using two servers can add separation between the user and the destination, but it also adds another provider-controlled point in the route. It does not guarantee anonymity or protect against account-based tracking.

Does DoubleVPN make internet speeds slower?

A second VPN hop usually adds more distance and processing to the connection. That can increase delay and reduce speed compared with a single nearby VPN server.

Is DoubleVPN the same as Tor?

No. DoubleVPN uses two VPN servers, while Tor sends traffic through a volunteer relay network designed around layered routing. Their operators, performance, and trust models are different.
