Agree. That won't come. It would imply queueing one external IP after the other. Won't happen.

Yea, not sure there’s a use case scenario for most people. I’d say it has to be maybe less than 5% of all iOS users, if that. Extremely unlikely to see this ever be a thing, in my opinion

I even don't think that it is technically possible linking two different commercial VPN providers, because the exit point of the first (public IP) would have to be the entry point of the second. And as you say there's also no use case. If you want several hops within the VPN, that's already existing on the market - or you simply use tor.

Aye, I was being polite and generous saying there’s probably not a use case for most people. It does seem a weird thing to want.

I’d say more like .05%.

It is odd the things some people want.

Who’s willing to bet a beta today?

Possibly.... but maybe Tuesday latest

I’m going with DB5 either tomorrow or Wednesday.

If the patch DB4 had delayed the PB, I would agree with the next week comments, but it didn’t delay it, therefore that’s why I think this week holds.

If Apple release ios17 DB5 on Wednesday, it will be the longest duration between beta 1 and beta 5 since ios7. Also, on the basis that since iOS10 they had a minimum 8 beta cycles before RC , they might run out of runway if they don't release DB5 this week. So that's my basis for this week.
