https://brave.com/analysis-of-dvpns/

From 2020, the dVPN market size will begin it's journey in the mainstream from it's current cumulative market cap of under $50M (as it is right now). By 2021-2 the market segment should be worth over $1 Billion with the level of traction it is beginning to attain.
what are the most important differences between each dvpn project(?):
-backing
-ease of use
-interoperability
-scalability
-integration with other service
-features
-ease of payment
-node selection
-time in the market
-market cap
-dev team funding and ability to withstand the past bear market
-integration with other crypto project
-ethical team
-funding type
-major shareholders
-motivation

orchid partnered with pia which has been sold to an israeli firm

A couple of weeks ago, one of the industry’s most famous VPN providers, Private Internet Access (PIA) was acquired by Kape Technologies, an Israeli based firm as a result of its parent company, LTMI Holdings agreeing to a merger.

Reportedly, $95 million was paid as a part of the deal and this happens to be the third one on the part of Kape who has also acquired CyberGhost and ZenMate in the past.

Kape happens to have a not-so-bright past shedding doubt on the ability of PIA to protect the privacy of its customers under their control.

To further elaborate, Kape Technologies was originally found under the name of Crossrider in 2011 developing advertising apps until they changed their name in 2018. However, their software included malware as reported by companies such as Malwarebytes and Symantec

But the connections don’t end there. The very first CEO of Crossrider, Koby Menachemi, happened to be once a part of Unit 8200 which is an Israeli Intelligence Unit in their military and has also been dubbed as “Israel’s NSA “. Teddy Sagi, one of the company’s investors was mentioned in the Panama Papers which were leaked in 2016.

TOR is compromised. The flaw is that bandwidth is not monetized, and most of the nodes are run by 3 letter groups. TOR traffic can be reconstructed:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.09237

>We model and analyze passive adversaries that monitors Tor traffic crossing the border of a jurisdiction an adversary is controlling. We show that a single adversary is able to connect incoming and outgoing traffic of their border, tracking the traffic, and cooperating adversaries are able to reconstruct parts of the Tor network, revealing user-server relationships.

I don’t trust Orchid at all. I tried using the app and it is just a god awful user experience too.

Based on my research, Sentinel is the only dVPN doing it right. They won’t force users to pay with a worthless middle man token. You will be able to pay with any crypto that a node wants to accept. They are also allowing enterprise grade private nets where any third party project can implement their bandwidth network layer.

dvpns are going to need to do what TownCrier does for Chainlink. Encrypt all data being ran through the nodes, and decrypted by the end user. Those running the dvpn nodes should have no way of knowing what data they are sending and who they are sending it to.

Since VPNs hide your activity from your ISP, connecting to a VPN before accessing Tor also prevents your ISP from detecting your use of Tor. Tor over VPN also gives you a measure of privacy from your VPN provider, since they are unable to see what you are doing within the Tor network.

these are the basic benefits, but there is more to it if the dVPN is multi-hop then you can achieve way better opsec obv everything must be properly encrypted

I read through their latest updates and it seems like they reached a stopping point with ETH.

A couple key features that makes all the difference:
• Built on Tendermint that can scale unlike ETH
• Tendermint allows token interoperability so end users can pay with BTC, ETH, XMR, pretty much any token that a node wants to accept
• A true anon DAO that can not be subpoenaed or ordered to comply with authoritiarian regulations, backsides or gag orders
• Private nets and bandwidth layer that allows third party developers to build on, use and integrate into their own applications
• dVPN is only the first application of their decentralized privacy suite. dChat is being tested and other decentralized applications will be released like a decentralized token mixer.
• The SENT token is used to validate and secure the network, so those that stake SENT on mainnet will take a % of all dApp transactions conducted on the network
• TOR exit nodes from the dVPN

>> No.16964841

>>16964761
Good summary. SENT is the only one that won't force you to buy their token to pay for dVPN. Allowing developers to use it in their own apps is brilliant.

That's why there are 2 types of nodes in sentinel:
-routing nodes which relay only encrypted traffic aimed at consumers
-exit nodes which come in contact with unencrypted traffic which are aimed at knowledgeable individuals that want to take higher risk for a higher reward, data centers and people that already run Tor exit nodes
There is also a third type that is a bit different, it will allow you to funnel your exit traffic directly into Tor (enforced by the protocol) you could run a Tor node at the same time making Anon set higher.

All these nodes will be part of the probabilistic multi hop relay net of sentinel which will allow to jump through as many nodes as you want thus ensuring that the more you are willing to pay the more nodes you pass through and the more safe you are.
Relay net will also have packet mixing and obfuscation

I made a little profit trading Orchid when they launched trading on Coinbase, but haven’t heard of Sentinel. I always wondered why there wasn’t a dVPN that just accept BTC as payment without another token in the middle. Orchid was too complex to set up for the everyday user.

You are talking about dVPN's being a Multi billion dollar market, but you are missing the entire point. Brave is addressing the general public VPN users who are trying to watch netflix from Croatia or the boomer in the U.S. that heard he could find cheaper plane tickets.

The ideal dVPN you are trying to sell is an extremely niche service. Its like trying to compare Airbus with Beechcraft when talking about commercial aviation. The dVPN you are proposing only addresses a minuscule segment of the web user market. The same goes for monero. Follow the money, not the hobby.

This is where the speculation part comes in. It is on testnet, but once main net is launched, the token will have an inartistically higher value since you will be able to stake it and earn profit with it. My understanding is that the fees collected on the network will be in the token used - so if someone uses BTC to pay for bandwidth, you will get BTC % as a reward. I believe this is why we are seeing wallets accumulating large amounts now at low prices. Or you can wait until mainnet release, but you may be buying it at 4x the price by then.

It has definitely been in testnet for a while now, and I believe that is best since it shows how the team is not rushing into a mainnet full of bugs but rather to create a simple and attractive UI and interface that will function properly.

Thanks I am very bullish on sent now
Are there any collaboration or assistance from the whonix crowd that you are aware of?

>> No.17001153

>>17001024
Of course. Thank you for your valid questions and discussion. I would ask the dev team about Whonix, but I recently read that the PirateOS distribution will include SENT dVPN by default. I haven't heard of PirateOS before, so I need to learn more about it.

how can you have a decentralized VPN and DAO without blockchain and validators? Every dVPN other then SENT forces you to use their token as payment. SENT will have their token to validate and secure the network, and you can pay with BTC or other main tokens.

>> No.17001649

>>17001603
yeah a dVPN shouldn't force a token upon end users like orchid and mysterium do thats why sentinel will allow anybody to pay with ANY crypto included xmr btc once cosmos interchain communication protocol is launched

>> No.17001914

>>17001649
I think SENT is the only dVPN on the market that won't force you to use their native token for payment. It shows the dev's goal is to really build a foundation and network that lasts.

>> No.17002404

>>17001914
its also the smartest choice as you get more potential users.
also any crypto community can decide to host sent dvpn nodes to give an additional usecase to their coin accepting it as payment

rewards are based on fees so lets say 10% of whatever valuation you can think of.

if its 10% and your staking position is worth $1 million than you earn 100k USD per year.

If SENT goes 10X that number 1 hodler is going to earn 70k USD per year and sit on 700k USD in liquid net worth.

The testnet already has more traffic and users then 99% of all crypto projects. You can check out the network stats yourself:

> stats.sentinel.co

Currently 100 nodes, couple thousand sessions a day, and averaging close to 1TB of data every day.
