Is Double VPN untraceable?

Does using 2 VPNs do anything?

I set up a tunnel one of my computers to use it as a VPN and also I'm wondering if doing the 2 VPN thing does any good? I don't know if my router uses the same amount of bandwidth when using both the VPN and the wireless access points at the same time. If so is that why only using one VPN with the wireless router does not help my speeds (if I'm not mistaken)? I'm trying to figure out the right way to have my computer and my router connect to the internet with my internet provider. Thanks!

In your setup, if you try to route the traffic through the VPN you just make the connection between the two endpoints unreliable (not a term in networking but you get what I mean.) It's like if you leave an electrical power outlet without a switch connected and without a short or tripped circuit breaker, then there is no way to know whether the system will have power. Of course, having redundant paths would help, but in this case the bandwidth doesn't matter because it's only one route from the clients to the internet and back.

To really make it work, each endpoint needs to be in your network with an IP address from your ISP. The IPs will probably look like this: 64.128.32.1 - 64.254 - or something similar. Then, you need a "bridge" in your network.

So now the client has two sources for the internet, which will give better reliability in case one path is bad, but worse reliability in case of hardware problems. Now if you're worried about speed issues (even though they are pretty much non-existent, unless you have extreme amounts of traffic) you can consider doing this for each connection separately, so you could have 2 paths to each. This might seem overkill but it's often more efficient and reliable than relying on the 1 (!) good path. Thanks! Is the way to get the proper IPs from the ISP? Also, I'm a little worried about doing the bridge on the router. Is there a certain setup I should do? Can't I use my modem to do that bridge thing since I'm using my modem's internet connection instead of having 2 seperate internet connections from my provider?

Should I use obfuscated VPN?

I don't like having to remember to open my VPN when I use it.

Is there any reason to obfuscate the connection between the client and the server (ie the client would not know the server's IP address)? Yes. I've found that clients that don't need to know the IP are better protected by IP-masquerading. It is harder to spoof a VPN, and a VPN is generally considered more secure.

There's no need to obfuscate the connection as long as you know the server's IP address. You can then just use that as the "real" IP address of the machine.
