It's not the nodes. It's the inevitable distance between client and server.

The post I was replying to wants casual browsing that's secure, anonymous, private and encrypted AND indistinguishable in speed from what he does without all these features. That's impossible, more requests are needed and every single connection adds noticeable lag past a certain minimum distance.



That post said nothing about speed or latency.


I just pointed out that the experience cannot possibly be exactly the same without any compromise over his current usage as he described it.

Some usage will have to be adapted and/or compromised will have to be made, or else just accept being monitored.

Overpromising is not a good policy.
