What are your thoughts? Huh

I have not used a totally block chain based VPN service (but I'll be looking up those two later). I've paid for VPN subscription using Bitcoin, but that was in a service that also allows fiat payment.

Both the blockchain and VPN are both privacy centered and gives a bit of autonomy to the users. Merging both services is a venture that could take off if done right. Users would not have to reveal their identity to the VPN providers in order to use the service.

There already is a decentralized network for privacy, it's called TOR - and it doesn't use blockchain, because it predates blockchain. Blockchain isn't some amazing fundamental technology like its promoters often say, in fact it's not needed for most cases and can't be applied, because it was created to solve very specific problem - a problem of trust for money transactions on the Internet.

For long, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have been a viable solution for preserving one's privacy and anonymity. In today's world, there are many VPN services which rely on a middleman (or a central operator) that could be paid with Fiat or crypto. But what if we'd eliminate the middleman from the system, and bring a self-autonomous VPN service to the world using Blockchain technology? In this model, people would pay for a VPN service that will last for "x" amount of days using a crypto of their choice. Everything will be settled on-chain in a completely decentralized way. Node operators would serve as "gateways" that would constitute the whole VPN.

So far, I'm aware of two Blockchain-based VPN services (Mysterium and Tachyon Protocol) which aim to further decentralize the Internet by eliminating the need to rely on a middleman or third parties for complete privacy/anonymity. But compared with traditional VPN service providers, Blockchain-based VPN services are a "needle in a haystack".

Do you think that VPNs using Blockchain technology are worth it? Is it still too early too tell? Do you happen to know about other alternatives to Mysterium or Tachyon Protocol within the Blockchain industry? What are your thoughts? Huh

Hmm. An interesting take on using block chain technology for VPN . The usage of VPN'S are getting increased everyday with the millineals preferring to stay anonymous. But there have also been cases of VPN servers getting hacked or having backdoor and getting exploited. If block chain is getting used in VPN , it might get famous.
