Detailed Cascade Connection Advantages
Maximum Anonymity
Your ISP only sees the connection to a local entry point in your country. The real exit point and final destination remain completely hidden. No one can link your IP to the target service.
Metadata Separation
Your connection metadata is distributed across independent nodes in different jurisdictions. The entry point knows your IP but not the final destination. The exit point knows the destination but not your real IP.
Blocking Resistance
Using a local entry point makes the connection look like normal regional traffic, significantly reducing the chance of detection and blocking by your ISP or state filtering systems.
Jurisdictional Protection
Nodes are located in different countries with varying data retention laws. Getting the full picture would require judicial cooperation between multiple jurisdictions, which is practically impossible.
Traffic Analysis Protection
Multi-layer encryption and routing through multiple nodes makes correlation of incoming and outgoing traffic extremely difficult even for advanced traffic analysis systems.
Flexible Choice
You can easily change the exit country through your account without modifying the client configuration. The entry point remains stable in your country, ensuring low latency on the first segment.
Benefits
- Metadata split across independent nodes.
- Harder to compromise both hops simultaneously.
- Isolated logging surfaces reduce correlation.
Trade-offs
- Added latency (+30–80 ms typical).
- Slight throughput reduction (−10–25%).
When to use
- Handling sensitive data sources.
- Bypassing geo restrictions while obscuring origin region.
- Extra privacy layer with untrusted local ISP.
Traffic Flow
Connection path through multi-hop nodes:
- Client: Your device initializes an encrypted tunnel.
- Entry Server: Entry server sees your real IP and forwards traffic encrypted to exit.
- Exit Server: Exit server knows only the destination, not your real IP.
- Internet: Destination services see the exit server IP as source.
