   Thanks for responding Henrik.   
      
   For the purpose of my question the difference between vpn and   
   proxy does not matter. Your description informs me that I   
   get the use of a proxy server for about $3/month, but it is   
   called NORD vpn.

   I understand that the openvpn doesn't have what I want, but it does   
   take my traffic and sent it, via the intermediary, to where I want.   
   If, instead, it were to route the traffic among other instances   
   of the proxy it would, like TOR, be more difficult to work backward   
   from the destintion to me.

   The configuration files I use all are .ovpn. I suppose you are not referring   
   to those.
