   Doesn't tak much wizardry really. Start a normal VPN under MacOS. Open   
   your web browser and use a web-based VPN to then visti a website.   
   You've got a double VPN. You could use that web0-based VPN to visit   
   another web-based VPN, getting a triple VPN.   
      
   Of course, each layer you add slows down your connection to the final   
   website because it has to go through all those VPN systems. It's also   
   pretty pointless (despite what crime-tech dramas like to use in their   
   storylines about people hackers bouncing their conneciton all around   
   the world).
