DPN, the term looks new to me!
The idea is good but it is going to work same as the TOR right? but I still don't prefer TOR all the times due to slow data speed transfer which can be overcome by the DPN you are talking about?
Topic: VPN or DPN, which one the best for Bitcoin users' privacy. (Read 106 times)
When it came to getting some privacy over the internet or for your browsing then a virtual private network is the best thing on which you can trust blindly. There are so many VPNs available in the market from which you can choose the best. But according to me the latest and trending KeepSolid VPN can the ideal choice for anyone. It has multiple features that you can grab the very best price by using keepsolid VPN code while shopping for it. It will the best thing that you can do to get a top-leading VPN service.
Sounds like it tries to replicate the tor network by adding blockchain and rewards and stuff like that. Not to mention the service itself is not yet live (a public sale in April).
What makes DPN decentralized is because it is serverless, not depending on any central server, which means it has nothing to do with users usage data logs, users device will act as both the client and the server. Sounds like a sponsored article for a new product with no real users to me. That Deeper Connect releases lots of articles on various media last week, probably to ensure they reach the hard cap.
No. The first DPN I knew was last year, I am not certain if it is the first of its kind, it is called Mysterium, while I read about another new one that was just created recently, called Sentinel , also I have known another one called Deeper before. But, what I noticed is that it is being talked about often than before, thinking it might replaced VPN which are decentralized. I hope this is clear nothing like sponsorship as I did not even mention on DPN in the topic. All I am thinking is just that DPN could bring more privacy just like Tor. 
What makes it different from tor?

As a bitcoin user, we are always careful to have the full privacy we need. Because of this, bitcoin users like to make use of virtual private network (VPN) for online purposes. VPNs allow users to send their web traffic through an encrypted tunnel to a server managed by the VPN service provider. Traffic then exits to the web where data continues to be encrypted, provided users only connect to secure HTTPS websites, preserving privacy as a result. But, VPN are centralized service, some leaving users vulnerable to data leak.
Free VPNs leave users vulnerable to data leak, the reputed paid ones use strong security protocols, minimal data logging, private Domain Name System, or DNS, servers and internet-friendly jurisdictions. In turn, this leads to benefits such as avoidance of censorship, enhanced security on both public and private connections and data transfers, remote access and online anonymity. But despite safe and secure online environment paid VPN can offer, some still keep usage logs.
VPN Usage Logs
All in all, usage logs kind of defeat the purpose of using a VPN. After all, you’re running a VPN connection to escape surveillance. Usage logs are pretty intrusive because they actually contain information about your online browsing. We are talking about data like:
Why do some providers keep VPN logs
1. First of all, because the law forces them to do that. If the VPN provider has their HQ in a country with severe data retention laws (like Australia, the US, Ireland, or France), or in a country with an oppressive regime, they will likely have to keep VPN logs to comply with the law. Of course, they might be able to use legal loopholes to not do that, but they willl need to have regular third-party audits of their service to prove their claims are legit.
2. If you use a free VPN service, it might keep logs about your usage to enforce bandwidth caps. Some paid VPNs might do this too if they have bandwidth caps during the money-back guarantee or free trial period.
3. Some providers might engage in VPN logging to make sure people only connect the number of devices they allow them to (like up to five or ten). Not all providers bother with that, though, and others even offer unlimited simultaneously connected devices.
4. If you are using a free service, they might keep VPN logs to collect data which they can later sell to advertisers.
5. Sometimes it is not even the VPN provider who keeps logs, but the data center they use. Basically, the provider might use a data center who isn’t transparent about their own logging policies. That actually happened once – a VPN service said it kept no longs, but its data center kept IP transfer logs.
Decentralized private networks
Similar to VPNs, decentralized private networks, or decentralized VPNs, also use encrypted tunnels to route web traffic, but they do this over decentralized rather than centralized networks. DPNs are serverless and distributed, ensuring higher security levels such that user data is not logged, hacked or subpoenaed.
In a decentralized private network, user devices act as both the client (like individual internet users) and server (like Amazon Web Services or Google). And the IP addresses automatically change based on their routing rules, establishing tunnels to other nodes all over the world.
The negation of a central point of control in DPN services means there are no central points to attack; the network cannot be taken down. Users also have control over their data, as no centralized provider has access to the information they are trying to protect.
Which do you think will give total privacy, VPN or DPN?
