    So two hops, basically. First hop sees your IP address but not the website you&#x27;re going to, second hop sees website but not IP address. Similar to Private Relay: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.apple.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;102602" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.apple.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;102602.

      But if both services keep logs de-anonymization is a join.

        (Carl from Obscura here)

        Very true, but if even 1 of (Obscura, Mullvad) is honest, there&#x27;s no de-anonymization.

        For traditional Single-Party VPNs, you just need to compromise 1 party, with Two-Party Relays, you need to compromise both.
