Multi-hop VPN routing for Android
Multi-hop VPN routing is commonly used to describe traffic passing through more than one hop. In Secureferry, those hops are checkpoints: create a dedicated route, choose its checkpoints, and assign the apps, websites, domains, or subdomains that should follow it.
What multi-hop VPN means in Secureferry
Secureferry expresses multi-hop routing through checkpoints on a dedicated route. Instead of choosing from a generic server list, you build a route map, choose the checkpoints for the route, and keep the route's manifest visible before activation.
How route maps and checkpoints work
- Create a dedicated route in a route map.
- Choose checkpoints for the route.
- Set checkpoint tiers to match the route quality you need.
- Assign selected apps, websites, domains, or subdomains.
- Review the route manifest before activating routing.
- Pause or disable routing from the app when needed.
When multi-hop routing helps
- Building a dedicated route around a specific checkpoint setup.
- Testing how a selected app behaves with a chosen route.
- Sending a selected website or domain through a dedicated route.
- Keeping route choices explicit instead of applying one route to every app.
When to upgrade
Upgrade when you need more checkpoints for multi-hop dedicated routes, more parallel routes, or more app and website assignments.
How this fits with selective routing
Secureferry uses Android VPN permission to create the routing layer needed for dedicated routes. From there, you can assign selected apps, websites, domains, or subdomains to routes with chosen checkpoints.
Privacy and permission notes
Secureferry uses Android VPN for system-level routing. Routing starts only after you grant permission and activate a route. Secureferry does not collect browsing history and does not read, inspect, store, or sell the contents of routed network traffic.
