China - a nation of 1.4 billion people is now issuing fines for citizens using VPNs. VPNs based in China also are subject to censorship and government surveillance.

>This fundamental problem is not just limited to China:

Russia is also demanding backdoors and access to any centralized VPN that wants to operate in the county. Population: 145.8 million

The Department of homeland security has issued a dire warning to US based enterprises and government employees that VPNs are being used to steal trade secrets and for surveillance. Population 327 million

The Middle East has full censorship and surveillance control. Even porn is banned and outlawed. Population 411 million

The IRS is cracking down on cryptocurrency transactions and will be hunting any hidden transactions based on your IP. Centralized VPN providers are subject to subpoenas for your data and internet history. What BTC nodes you have connected to, what exchanges you have used.

Regardless of whether or not it is compromised by three letter agencies, it runs off Firefox ESR which uses Google analytics, and all extensions can be disabled if Firefox forgets to update their certificates. It's not decentralized and you would be an idiot to run your system connections through it because that means any unencrypted connections (https) would be seen by whoever is running the node, should they be a bad actor. Bad for privacy and security.

Also, stop being a crybaby and pay your taxes. You're taking a hugely unnecessary risk by not doing so.
If you want anonymous crypto (crypto isn't anonymous its all public all they need is an address or two to leak and you're tracked) - if you want anonymous crypto then go off the grid, get your crypto from a local place or somewhere that doesn't ask your ID - I bet half you niggers concerned about privacy and anonymity still use windows/mac and google fucking chrome.

State actors need systems like tor to compete and operate efficiently, any high level private actor as well. Tor was developed to give such a system to allied state actors. The nature of the system would also create incentives for enemy actors to participate. Hosting nodes themselves. Making the system more robust. More security was needed, so system was open sourced. Agents larped as devs and pushed tor culture in red, black and white communites under idealogical pretense. Money is far from the only incentive. ideological identity complexs are much stronger than money as incentive, they'll compell men to die for soverigns. They tie nation states and religious authorities together. Tor's biggest expansion was under idealogical pushes in niche dev communites. This propigates the nodes like influenza. Its 2019, new things are abound, the internet is a complex beast, and tor does not provide all the needs for the highest level actors. That being the state. Cryptography was on the legislated munitions list not to long ago and considered a weapon, holding devs accountable for free spech (code). The realtionship of devs and deep state activites, and open source work has always been close and will continue to be. Good luck sentinel, whom ever you are are, scoped the github (:.

first of all you can try sentinel for free, so you can have direct experience of the product.
sentinel will offer the first vpn service that provably doesn't log your data, because you are routing it through multiple nodes, and if you want you can exit on the tor net having 2 layers of security.
sentinel will undercut centralized vpn it will be at least 50% CHEAPER and will offer a larger variety of nodes specs, because users with all kinds of connections will be monetizing their bandwidth.
because the type of nodes are residential users from fucked up place like iran and saudi and china can use the service without tehir gov blacklisting the ip of the centralized service provider, also the traffic won't be routed into a data center thus making it much less suspicious to the eyes of surveillant authority.
if you are interested i can go on

>> No.15027691

>>15027582
I support any efforts to decentralize bandwidth around the world. At the moment however, it seems like Sentinel has the only solution.

• Anon and decentralized team that can not be forced to instal backdoors or leak data

• Open source and provable encryption

• TOR exit nodes

• Monetize bandwidth by hosting a relay node or an exit node

• VPN can accept any token as payment. Rumor is they will also have fiat on ramps. This is often overlooked because it will allow for wide spread adoption without having to purchase tokens.

• Private networks for enterprises and governments

• A decentralized token mixer for complete anonymity

• A decentralized dChat application that is encrypted end-to-end

• Token staking for a % of all fees transacted on the network

If anybody can name any other solutions that addresses the privacy issues I have laid out, I will gladly listen.

How many uneducated end users can reliably set up their own VPS and proxy? Why would someone do all this if they just want to access a few GB of data a month?

Sentinel also has a dVPN Lite application on Android that is free. The end users end up using a decentralized VPN without even knowing it is using blockchain tech since no tokens or crypto knowledge is required. If the end users want faster speeds or more options, they can then use the full dVPN suite. This puts Sentinel in a position where they can onboard and drive adoption from the non-crypto space.

It is a very important facet to the equation. Unless you are able to monetize and easily allow the set up of relay nodes and exit nodes, what incentive is there to host one?

For a technology to be truly adopted, it needs to scale quickly and effortlessly. Unless there is incentive, it won't happen.

Just like TOR, since there is no financial incentive, all that is left is state actors to host nodes to give you a false sense of security.

the targeted users are simply people that want a cheaper and more secure dVPN.
not only it will be cheaper because based on consumption, but you will also be able to cut costs completely "host a node during the night browse for free during the day" with main net release node hosting will be inbuilt in the wallet and very easy to use, consumers will be able for example to pay their netflix subscription by hosting a relay node (a type of node that never comes in contact with the end dat but only routes it to a exit node) relay nodes will ensure no risk for consumers.
tor exit nodes will funnel the data directly into the tor network this type of node is also secure but for more advanced users.

sentinel is a layer 1 solution before entering tor for people that are paranoid and want more privacy, a cheaper solution that pays for itself for normies. an easy way to access the blockchain ecosystem overral, just think about you want to interact with a cryptokittie dapp (just for example) you host a node sell your bandwidth and suddendly you have enough money to interact with web 3 dapps without passing through fiat gateways that create huge friction for end users.

You have just copy pasted this from your other shill thread. I'll copy paste a response from that.

Tor is legit the only way to be safe. Firstly if you only use hidden services (.onion) links you never use exit nodes, and as such will always be anonymous. If you do use a glow in the dark exit node then unless they own the entry as well you'll be fine. Hidden services at best. VPNs, even the ones that claim they're logless are fucking terrible because they still keep VPS logs and that's got literally all your information on. For example see this dude who got rolled on by his 'logless' VPN and is now in jail.

https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/09/lulzsec-hacker-exposed-service-he-thought-would-hide-him/337545/

Shit just Google VPN arrest an you'll see thousand of cases just like it. TOR can be unsafe if glows own everything, but most of the time they don't and even if they do unless you're planning another 9/11 or going full DPR and selling billions in coke they'll ignore it as they don't want to damage TORs secure reputation.

read the whole thread and you will understand the value proposition of SENT.
sentinel doesn't look to compete with tor, it will offer a service that integrates with TOR.
you will be able to go through multi hop relay nodes into sentinel tor exit nodes that will give you direct access to the tor network, sentinel will offer packet standardization on top of the multi hop relay net.
using 2 privacy solutions one on top of the other, will massively increase users safety and will allow people from countryies under heavy surveillance to use a service that can't be easily shut down, in china its a massive problem any centralized VPN provider get shut down by the government very easily.
centralized vpn provider usually work for a while in china then the gov find tehir servers, ips etc.. and blocks them, then they have to set up a new server in a different location and chinese gov finds them again, and like this it continues on and on, china manages to block mostly data center ip ranges.

NordVPN already do that, and I wouldn't trust that at all. What benefit is there adding an extra point of failure to the anonymsing process if A, it's closed source and I can't read the source code and see exactly what's happening (like I can with TOR, TOR nodes, and the TOR browser) and B, it's my initial point of entry and ANY security precautions that happen after that entry are void if it's backdoored or glowing. TOR works the way it works because everything is encrypted between the browser, the entry nodes, and all subsequent nodes. Adding something in-between any of those steps is retarded and completely destroys the point of TOR. You are effectively paying for a Man in the Middle attack.

sentinel is built to integrate with tor, and will add packet standardization before entering tor network.

Some TOR exits nodes are glowing (which makes sense as the CIA use TOR in countries to hide their spying) but unless the glows own every node it doesn't matter, as an extra encryption layer is added after each relay, which is virtually impossible. And seeing as you can select node locations you can mitigate this risk further (i.e entry in Sweden exit node in Belarus) as there's very little chance that the CIA are controlling all of those nodes. There hasn't been one case of an IP leak in all of TORs history, anyone who has been caught has been poor IPsec (DPR delivering fake IDs to his house and using his real name on Shroomery, or boomer nonces downloading pizza.mp4.exe or running JavaScript).

you are again starting with the presupposition that the relay net is less secure and/or will have less nodes then tor, which will not be the case when monetization is fully enabled, anybody will be able to sell their bandwidth this will create a bigger node pool then tor, where tor exit nodes are effectively running at a loss

YOU. ARE. ALLOWING. SOMETHING. TO. SEE. EVERYTHING. YOU. DO. ON. TOR.

It doesn't matter how secure it is, it still defeats the purpose of TOR and as such the fact they use TOR as a selling point is nothing more than marketing talk. You also said it was open source, which I doubt for a for-profit project, so where is the source code. Let's look through it ourselves and see how secure it is.

>> No.15035549

>>15035498
it does matter how secure it is, cause it offers probabilistic security and 2 layers of anonimization.
also tor integration is not the main selling point, the main selling point is being able to unlock the massive amounts of unused bandiwdth globally, and allow users in countryies that are under surveillance to get residential ips and not have to pass through data centers that will get blocked

It's not two layers of anonimization, it's anonymous data, de-anonymised and then re-anonymised by a different service. It's completely redundant.

That said having read through some of the white paper while we've been arguing I'll admit it's not as terrible an idea as I initially thought. I'd still rather use TOR, but in the future I could see this going places.

Imagine this. Even if ALL TOR entries are being compromised, if we have our own SENT Node between client and TOR, then the client is protected.

higher redundancy will bring higher protection

if sentinel network grows enough in amount of nodes it will offer additional safety.

please try the dvpn and tell me what you think, you can try it for free now, so it requires very low effort on your part.
you can get exposure to sentinel ecosystem by running a relay node yourself when monetization is fully enabled if you don't wanna buy the tokens.

The testnet is free at the moment. You click a button that gives you free tsent (the testnet version of sent in place at the moment before you need actual SENT for mainnet) and you can connect to an IP “paid for” with that. If you spam the faucet button enough you can get enough GBs to use it to browse until mainnet is released.

Because it's a well guarded secret that they compromised TOR, Carnegie Mellon did it back in 2014 and helped the feds.
As for why you don't hear about it, they just drop an "anonymous tip" where they need to, or they work backwards to catch them, all without revealing their secret.
That anyone in the US is able to get away with doing anything illegal on TOR is simply because they allow it to happen.

https://github.com/sentinel-official/dvpn-node/blob/development/vpn/open_vpn/templates.go
1) Pushes OpenDNS's IPs instead of running it's own local DNS server, so have to trust that OpenDNS isn't logging.
2) Uses the shitty Easy-RSA script to generate everything, which is often outdated and generates weaker keys (no ECC). So you're stuck with a shitty 1024-2048-bit RSA + DH params instead of a half decent 4068-bit RSA (or 256-bit ECC).
3) Uses the outdated --tls-auth instead of the newer --tls-crypt, which also encrypts the TLS handshake (making it slightly more difficult to block/throttle).
4) Uses SHA256 for auth instead of SHA512
5) Doesn't specify --tls-cipher, so if the OpenVPN is < 2.4, it'll use weak defaults.
6) Enables the Management Interface, which makes it very easy to see the IPs of all the clients connected (though you could just use tcpdump for that)
7) Does "status %s 3":
>From the OpenVPN manual:
>>--status file [n]
>>Write operational status to file every n >>seconds.
So it is logging IPs (though only for connected sessions, but if the VPN or system goes down, those IPs are on the hard drive)

If you're going to use OpenVPN for the actual VPN protocol, at least hire some pajeets that know how to configure it securely without copy/pasting a template config from some 10 year old how-to guide.
> inb4 bbut muh relays
The network is small enough that it would be very easy to register enough malicious nodes to make correlation possible.

Also, as others have stated, all this dVPN is doing is creating many points of failure.
> in b4 bbut Tor
Then just use Tor. If you're worried about Firefox exploits affecting your Tor Browser, compartmentalize with something like Qubes OS, practice decent OPSEC, and use some common sense.

i will post your config advices to the devs, it might be usefull will see what they say, there might be a reason behind their config choices, also keep in mind that when main net launches the whole client will move to wireguard and open vpn client will become secondary.

wireguard.com -
"WireGuard is not yet complete. You should not rely on this code. It has not undergone proper degrees of security auditing and the protocol is still subject to change. We're working toward a stable 1.0 release, but that time has not yet come."

WireGuard really shouldn't be trusted for anything highly sensitive at the moment. However, I've been testing WireGuard since 2016, it's pretty solid in Linux and most of the other supported OSes. The Window client just got out of "pre-alpha", so that's coming along nicely too.

come have a chat with the devs in sentinel chat, it hink the project would benefit a lot from knwoledgeable people like you, sentinel is trying to offer a honest and usefull service, allow people to sell their bandwidth and people that need specific types of bandwidth to buy it at a cheaper rate then centralized one.
one of the effects sentinel will have is it will make centralized vpn become cheaper or go out of businness.
people have tons of bandwidth laying around that now can be sold globally.
with the proper community this project can grow strong and healthy every bit of legit criticism will be taken seriously by devs

>> No.15044185

>>15043985
lol, no. My expertise in these topics isn't going to help you dump your SENT bags.

Sure, there's people out there that would like to sell their bandwidth if it was profitable enough, but the biggest problem with this idea is that pretty much every major residential (and commercial) ISP is strict as hell when it comes to abuse. People don't want to get their account suspended (or in trouble with the law) because someone scans/hacks shit from their IP, or torrents stuff that would cause DMCA complaints to go to their ISP, or downloads CP.

If you look at the Tor network, you'll see the majority of the exits are in .edu's where abuse complaints most likely go to the person that setup the node.
The nodes that are at commercial DCs are also often setup by admins there, so abuse doesn't matter much to them either.
There are very few DCs that allow their customers to run Tor exits.
That's why there's so many Tor exits all in the same DCs/regions, and so few in other DCs/regions.

The main reason people would want residential IPs is to bypass geo-restrictions (Netflix n shit), or places that ban non-residential IPs (like here). A better idea for a dVPN would be instead of routing all client traffic through that residential IP node, use policy routing on the relay so only traffic for services that require a georestriction bypass would go through that node. The nodes hosted at the few DCs that allow them could handle all the other traffic.
