VPN server chaining is an option offered by some VPN providers, but it is generally non-standard as it causes higher performance impacts.Īs part of the server chaining process, Tor selects a random path to the destination server, this means that the route can be long and is not designed for the fastest or lowest latency connection. This three-stage process significantly increases the difficulty of deanonymizing any connection. The three nodes are an “Entry node” which knows your IP address, an “Exit node” which knows what site you’re connecting to and a middle “Relay node” which is used to prevent the entry and exit nodes from contacting each other directly. While both Tor and VPNs connect to remote servers, Tor routinely connects through three different servers chained together. Both Tor and VPNs use encryption to provide security for otherwise unencrypted communications and to make traffic more difficult to analyse.īoth tools connect to remote servers to make it appear as if your traffic was coming from somewhere else.
