MPRs seek to solve a problem inherent to VPNs: the fact that you must trust them completely.
MPRs typically have ways of protecting your DNS traffic. Apple's Private Relay uses ODoH, INVISV uses Obvlivious DNS, and Tor lets the exit node do the DNS lookup for you.
## Decentralized VPNs
Another attempt at solving the issues with centralized VPN services are dVPNs. These are based on blockchain technology and claim to eliminiate trust in a single party by distributing the nodes across lots of different people. However, many times a dVPN will default to a single node, meaning you need to trust that node completely, just like a traditional VPN. Unlike a traditional VPN, this one node that can see all your traffic is a random person instead of your VPN provider that can be audited and has legal responsiblities to uphold their privacy policy. Multi-hop is needed to solve this, but that comes with a stability and performance cost.
