I guess it's correct that large VPN providers have multiple point of presence on the Internet. Still, an attacker only needs to monitor these N points, and then I think my point still holds if N>1 but is relatively small, which I expect to be the case. Monitoring the IX's where these POP live works too. Regarding the other changes and answers: great!
