The Mechanics of Double Encapsulation
With a standard connection, the server knows your real IP and sees the address of the target website. With MultiHop, the first server sees only your real IP without knowing the final destination, while the second server sees the target resource but has no idea what your original IP is. The main trade-off for this redundant privacy is an unavoidable increase in network latency (ping).
When to Use MultiHop
- Enable it when transmitting highly sensitive data over untrusted or public networks.
- Disable the feature during online gaming, 4K streaming, and voice calls to avoid speed drops.
- Choose server combinations in different country jurisdictions for maximum legal protection.
