β πππππππππππ πππππππ β And F-Secure Freedome VPN Technology
Advanced observers can use "Correlation Attacks" which track the date and time a user requests a VPN server to the date and time that user ( via the requested VPN server ) reaches his or her destination website.
QUESTIONS:
(1) Would running a "Shared IP Configuration" provide an added layer of anonymity?
In other words, wth hundreds of active F-Secure Freedome VPN sessions sharing a single IP address, at any given point in time, would it then become impossible to back trace a connection to a single user via "Correlation Attack" models?
(2) If the answer is "Yes" to question #1 above, does the F-Secure Freedome VPN offer and|or implement a "Shared IP Configuration" model?
(3) If the answer is "No" to question #1 above, does the F-Secure Freedome VPN server "IP Address Location", that a user chooses to surf the web from, singularly and ultimately point directly back to him or her?

Hi @Issues4Life
Our VPN servers have a large amount of concurrent users and as each server has one IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, all the users on a server are hidden behind those addresses. So yes, we have this "shared IP configuration" that you have mentioned, and we have always had it.
We typically have so much traffic and connections to our servers that the correlation attacks against us would be quite difficult to achieve.
