Looks good to me. Probably good to merge this quickly, otherwise the nested branching may yield conflicts soon. |

| A general and rather simple approach and rule of thumb is to use an anonymising proxy which is placed between a sender and a receiver of traffic. This inevitably means that there is trust placed on this proxy to behave as desired. Decentralised approaches (that don't necessarily have to trust proxies or proxy operators) rely on layered encryption and multiple extra hops of routing so that any message cannot be linked to its originator/source. |

Can rephrase to just "simple". The initial concept gave rise to anonymising VPN solutions and the like.
