[liberationtech] TomatoVPN

[Andrew Lewis]

No I'd argue that it'd be better to have one VPN, that you know is working,
rather then 6 different ones. The point Griffin is making is that you will
stick out if someone does any sort of traffic analysis, but you'll also
stick out if your running 6 separate VPNs.

Most likely as your a foreigner, the local ISP/Authorities will ignore or
otherwise not care. But that depends on your threat model.

So in this case, would it be better to have a VPN connection for each
device? (Hoping that the VPNs didn't conflict).
