As I see from their FAQ, DewVPN works in a hybrid mode, I.E. combines traditional and P2P VPN technology.
Hmm. This "p2p vpn" looks really insecure.
Peer-To-Peer
The Services are based on a community powered (Peer-to-Peer) network, where users to pool together and route their internet connections through each other. That means the software may make use of the Internet, among other means by re-routing some of your requests through other peer users. Your free use of the software will in turn enable other devices using the Services to be re-routed through your device. From that users can help each other to make the internet free for all, by sharing their idle resources. By using the Services you consent to the use of your device in the described manner and agree that other users or services may use your network connection and resources. You represent that your entry into this Agreement and your use of the Services does not breach any contract, duty, law, regulation or right, and that if sharing your resources is not desirable or allowed in your case, you will not use the Services, or purchase the Premium Subscription to use the network but not to contribute resources to it.
From what I understand, someone could do nefarious things using my IP and that could be linked back to me. Furthermore, they did say "other users or services may use your network connection and resources" which means it's possible they would be using the CPU as well
That's what I think to. Logically, p2p vpn should mean that the two person exchanges data. If I visit bitcointalk it may look like you visit this website and if you visit Google, it may look like I visited the google. But this kind of connection is far from the benefits of VPN, it can't be done that way, otherwise, you will be in serious trouble if you use p2p VPN. Imagine, you live in Germany and the peer you are connected with visits torrent and illegal streaming websites, you are f***d
Btw according to DewVPN's FAQs:
The Peer-to-Peer VPN architecture is more anonymous, secure and harder to block than the regular VPN services.I think we need an answer from the most experienced users.
