[QUOTE="windscribe, post: 584746, member: 58131"] There is absolutely no good reason not to trust closed source VPN clients as the truly paranoid can easily audit what they're doing with a network analyzer, like Wireshark. You should be more concerned with the servers you're connecting to, and who owns them, rather than a simple client used to connect to them. We offer double hop functionality between any 2 servers we have, but you must use the browser extension for the second hop. keep in mind the 2nd hop will be only for your browser activity. Can you give me a scenario where choosing your own DNS server is a desirable alternative? I personally see no good reason for that, other than "just because". In our case, each node has a DNS resolver on it, which is only accessible via a LAN IP, so it only works while you're connected to the server itself. This pretty much guarantees that there are no DNS leaks since the DNS server is not connectable over the public Internet. What's great about that is there is zero latency, since the DNS server and VPN server is the same machine, your DNS request doesn't have to go to a random server, over the internet and come back to the same machine.
