NSA Taps Ocean Cables, So Our VPN Splits Traffic | Simplified Privacy

Simplified Privacy, a VPN provider, says its double-layer design with split traffic makes it harder to correlate traffic across ocean cables. The article cites Edward Snowden's leaked documents as showing that the NSA taps ocean cables of other countries, and that the British government did so as well. Its system-wide layer works like a regular VPN, while the second layer uses browser-only isolated profiles that route traffic through different countries. The article says this makes packet sizes seen by the home ISP differ from those on the cables, unlike multi-hop WireGuard from other providers, which it describes as linear.
