This also has to be a nightmare for speed. Making two separate tunnels, then browsing the internet through them? Streaming or using virtually anything other than static HTML pages would be a pain.

Mullvad servers are fast enough. On some occasions, I can only connect to Mullvad through 3 hops. Me -> Chinese VPS -> DigitalOcean VPS -> Mullvad. I can still stream YouTube just fine (1MiB/s)

Context: during government meetings in a particular region, their network policies would become more restrictive so that it’s only possible to connect to Chinese IPs. Chinese VPSs are exempt but cannot connect to Mullvad directly due to a Fortinet rule. Connections are done with a mix of Trojan-gfw, xray, and WireGuard
