Stellar Relay and Stellar Rotate improve privacy in different ways, so it helps to think of them as separate tools.
What Stellar Relay does
Stellar Relay adds another privacy layer before traffic reaches the VPN server. Its goal is to make direct correlation harder.
What Stellar Rotate does
Stellar Rotate changes your IP and server exposure over time, which helps reduce long-session tracking.
Why both matter
Relay changes the path. Rotate changes the connection identity over time. Together, they strengthen the overall privacy model without making the product harder to use.
