If you are worried about traffic correlation analysis, then yes 2 VPNs will help.

I am trying to obfuscate my traffic fingerprint as much as possible, yes.

The outer VPN is the one where you have increased traffic due to 2 VPNs.

So, does it (roughly) just double the amount of traffic by adding the second one, or…?

Edit:

I’m not sure why I was downvoted. Advanced traffic analysis techniques already exist. I can only imagine that as soon as methods sufficient to fingerprint innocuous use of the clearnet at significant scale become feasible, that is exactly what will happen. I see nothing inherently irrational about having a threat model that makes some reasonable attempt to account for that.

Lol…

I mean, fair enough; also, your use case is entirely unlike that of someone who just uses NixOS normally, I would imagine. It’s really not like using NixOS requires a deep understanding of the language itself, or at least that’s never been my experience with it, and I’ve been daily driving it for well over a year at this point. As long as I know enough to keep maintaining the same /etc/nixos/configuration.nix I have now indefinitely, that’s as deep of an “understanding” of the language as I will ever need, personally. I’m well aware that there are a lot of things I could be doing if I knew how to, and frankly, I’ll probably never learn how to do those things because I’ll probably never have to. NixOS is by far the single easiest distro I’ve ever used, if only because everything’s always reproducible and because nothing ever breaks.

Huh. My brain is on fire right now.

Run on, sentence.

Not quite yet, but yeah, probably gonna be “big time” soon if I had to guess. Reddit is inaccessible through a VPN (while logged out) now, so it’s basically dead at this point.

Do what, now?

look…

I feel like everyone keeps forgetting that Reddit not only needs our metadata, but so much so in fact, that they need us to be able to bypass their own censorship in order to reach their servers, and to do so in the most anonymous way possible and without requiring their scripts to run in our browsers:

This is nothing new, hence why they literally call it old. I can remember all the way back in nineteen ninety eight, when The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell in a Cell, and plummeted sisxteen feet through an announcer’s table.

Always has been.

I have no need for any search engine not specifically designed to be accessed through Tor, at this point; Startpage has an official Onion now: http://startpagel6srwcjlue4zgq3zevrujfaow726kjytqbbjyrswwmjzcqd.onion/

Everything from each other. Almost no distro will ever be extremely effective at doing anything that is literally impossible on any other distro.

Well, I’m sorry about the travesty called the United States “‘healthcare’ ‘system’” and waiting around, and I’m actually not being at all sarcastic when I say that, sadly. I do a lot of waiting around myself, for the same reason. I have chronic pain and I already rely on acetaminophen and ibuprofen because of that, and if I’d ended up with the exact same injury, I would’ve needed something stronger than Tylenol III and more than a few of them. I’m really sorry they did that to you; that’s literally cruel, I think. You don’t have chronic pain; you have acute pain because you got hit by a car. I’d think they’d understand that and/or care.

EDIT: let me rephrase something, sorry. I don’t know if you have chronic pain or not, and I’m not trying to speculate. The point I was trying to make is that you got hit by a car, and that they should treating you with compassion instead of functionally punishing you for everything the driver did wrong. I already know I’m gonna get downvoted for saying that and I already don’t care. I’m really sorry this is happening to you.

Here’s a rule of life: You don’t get to pick what bad things happen to you.

How are you doing now, OP?
