A bit less private because things are going through one fewer hop, in addition to having to sign up. In my experience with Invisiv, it’s much faster and more reliable than Tor, but slower and much less stable than a traditional VPN.
It would be cool if more commercial VPN companies adopted this kind of tech.
They rent their servers, so it depends on what you consider as running the server. They have virtual access to it, but they don’t own the hardware. At least, that’s the case for countries I checked, maybe they have their own servers somewhere too.
Ah, so it’s just corporate Tor. Mega gross.
A less private Tor or a hyper VPN.

iVPN has Multi-hop feature, which looks similar to what you described in the post. Speaking of it, thanks for the detailed explanation!
But in the case of iVPN, do they run both of the servers themselves? That’s always what I wondered about.
