Best VPNs for Red Teaming & Anonymity with Proxychains

 

Best VPNs to Use with Proxychains for Red Teaming & OPSEC

When combining Proxychains with a VPN, you should focus on:

- No Logs Policy → Prevents tracking by VPN providers
- Obfuscation (Stealth VPN) → Bypasses deep packet inspection (DPI)
- Multi-Hop (Double VPN) → Routes traffic through multiple servers
- SOCKS5 Support → Allows Proxychains to tunnel through VPN
