That's kind of what I meant. Implementing both of those things together on a VPN is unique AFAIK.

I would imagine if you could trust the entry node that would also mitigate a significant amount of risk, no? I'm not deeply knowledgeable on the subject just FYI

Ah, I see, yeah I'm not aware of others doing both at once. I do think it's a decent security model.

And yep, the big deal is controlling entry+exit gateways. Trusting those will always be the fundamental risk point in VPNs.
