Multi-hop uses more than one authorized node. Public route availability and end-to-end leak acceptance remain unverified.

Before you start

Use the access and features actually assigned to your account. Keep a rollback or recovery route before changing existing service settings.

Steps

  1. Confirm that the specific route is approved and currently available.
  2. Record its entry, intermediate hop and intended egress without exposing keys.
  3. Use the supplied route controls; do not improvise gateways or public proxies.
  4. During an authorized test, verify traffic path, DNS, IPv6 handling and behavior when a tunnel is lost.

Verify the result

The intended path and failure behavior are demonstrated. More hops alone do not establish anonymity or a stronger privacy guarantee.

Contact support, service status, and Customer Access. Never send passwords or recovery codes.
