I use Mozilla VPN (Mullvad underneath), and it has the option for multi hop, which is really just two hops. Is there any major privacy gains with it or no?

And before you say VPNs are not the magic bullet for privacy, I already know that I use Linux, GrapheneOS, hardened Firefox, etc etc.

    Can't speak for Mozillas multihop implementation, but in general I can tell you that the concept of having multiple tunnels together does in theory make your comms more private. If a 3rd party were to try to MITM you, they would have to breach both tunnels to read your data.

    It will make your connection more private and secure, but I don't think its a major improvement or worth using for most people due to the downsides.
