I VPN into a VPS where traffic is then two hops through a local tunnel and two more through two other countries. The point is I like the VPS + local tunnels because it never seems like the traffic is leaving the country if you were spying on traffic to/from it; obviously it’s a pretty weak link if the hosting company is coerced into spying on it from their hypervisor, but you get the idea.
Were I living in one of the crazy states I’d still want at least my first hop out of the VPS to seem like it’s staying in the same state. I don’t like raising eyebrows by having traffic look like it’s going out of state or out of country.
Excellent point.
