the double VPN is not advised in the article, it is a consequence of the proposed OpSec.
I recommend a VPN installed in the router itself, thus, when at home, everyone is browsing and communicating with the VPN layer of security.
I stated to have one in your mobile as well, thus, when you are in the road you will browse safer, the double VPN happens when at home, if you don't turn off the one on the mobile you will be connecting with two hops, which will reduce your throughput but with current Internet speeds you should barely notice in most cases...
many VPN services provide multi hops as an added security, I personally do not see the appealing unless you are a targeted journalist or similar that requires additional security to potential IP discovery...
bear in mind that VPNs with no KYC are helpful but there are not a perfect safety cyber security net as many believe.
VPNs are good because they mask your IP address and encrypt your data from the ISP provider or mobile network provider and encrypt your DNS requests so the ISP can't log nor know what sites are you visiting.
When on the road while connecting to public networks is a good practice as well to avoid men in the middle attacks (MITM).
