Sentinel DVPN is changing the VPN industry as we know it, giving users uncensored, private access to the internet through the sentinel framework based on the cosmos platform. With the Sentinel framework, VPN providers would have access to decentralized VPN nodes run by individuals across the globe.

These decentralized VPN nodes would make any VPN developed using the sentinel framework, censorship-resistant, less expensive, and truly private.

The Sentinel framework ensures speed through its proof of bandwidth protocol, and privacy through its proof of no logs approach. It is also better able to mitigate man in the middle attacks by allowing both the node operators and VPN applications to provide proof of data usage at a given timestamp.

The sentinel framework makes it easy for anyone to develop a VPN, companies wanting to start a VPN service would do so at a lower cost by taping into Sentinels array of nodes across the world. This significantly reduces costs for the VPN service providers.

Node operators, get compensated for providing the bandwidth and security that ensures the continued running of the sentinel framework based DVPN’s.

In this article, we would dive deep into all these major parts and players that operate in the sentinel DVPN world to ensure faster and safer internet anonymity.

What’s more, you would get to know how useful these DVPN’s are, and how you can personally benefit from using the DVPN tokens or the DVPN apps for your own internet security.

DVPN stands for decentralized virtual private network, a term coined by blockchain foundation sentinel. DVPN is the native token on the Cosmos blockchain, designed for utility with its from the Sentinel framework. In this Sentinel DVPN review, we take a look at the details, the technicalities, and the usefulness of Sentinel and how to possibly profit from DPVN.

In essence, DPVN is a VPN crypto with huge potentials, let’s find out why we have high hopes for DVPN.

What is Sentinel

Sentinel is not just one VPN, rather a framework to develop decentralized VPN applications for the public, with the sentinel framework, a global web of decentralized VPN’s are rising to take advantage of the global peer to peer bandwidth marketplace that enables the decentralized virtual private networks.

Sentinel is powered by $DVPN token along with tendermint core and Exidio.

The Sentinel framework was first built on the ethereum blockchain but has since migrated to the Cosmos platform due to the transactions per second limitations of the ethereum blockchain.

What is Unique About Sentinel FrameWork

With the Sentinel framework, you can build a decentralized VPN application or business, without having to worry about servers or security.

These applications built on the sentinel framework, called DVPN’s are going to be faster, and much superior to existing VPN solutions. it is possible in the foreseeable future to see, current VPN service providers make a switch to use the Sentinel framework to give their businesses the much-needed boost or die out completely to competitions coming from DVPN’s built on sentinel framework.

Sentinel is currently developing partnerships for new VPN service providers to use its decentralized protocol, it is also partnering with existing VPN providers to switch their backend to Sentinel nodes.

This would provide huge utility for $DVPN and increase its adoption across the globe.

Current VPN’s built on the Sentinel Framework

• Velocity
• Indigitus dVPN hardware router
• DVPN’s developed by Sentinel itself

Companies Building on Sentinel

At the time of writing this article, Sentinel has functional DVPN’s for both android and Ios and the windows app is under development

What is $DVPN | What is Sentinel Coin

Sentinel Coin was an ERC20 token developed on the Ethereum blockchain, this was when the sentinel framework was based on ethereum, ever since migrating to the cosmos platform, sentinel tokens have been swapped for $DVPN tokens

$DVPN is the token that backs the sentinel framework, $DVPN is baked deep into the sentinel blockchain, the mobile applications and its node operations.

User’s of the decentralized VPN applications can pay for their services using DVPN token and several fiat gateways

Node operators however are paid using DVPN, and advanced users can as well stake DVPN.

VPN Vs DPVN

Everything you do online is tracked, from governments, telecom service providers, and hackers are snooping in and out to get a piece. VPN service providers stepped in to provide some layer of protection. The challenge with the current VPN architecture is that while you bypass your government and your telecom provider’s surveillance, you still have to trust a central third party to not store your data and hand them over to malicious actors which can sometimes even be the government.

In essence, while VPN does provide some level of anonymity, you are putting blind trust in a central entity who in some cases might be worse than your government.

With the current VPN infrastructure, your VPN service provider can and would see your IP address, and in some situations even store your data for their own selfish reasons.

Obviously, this is unacceptable, and there are several ways to beat this challenge, by using the Onion Router (TOR) or IP binding (essentially binding several IP addresses together) however, these are not easy to do, and in some instances very slow.

Applications running the sentinel framework does not have centralized nodes, they also utilize a network of relay nodes to obscure source, and each relay node has no idea whether it is delivering to an exit node or another relay node, thus improving your security far above traditional VPN solution providers.

Unlike traditional VPN providers, there is no centralized authority for governments to subpoena your data.

While traditional VPN’s can be blocked by governments, the decentralized nature of the sentinel framework makes it extremely difficult for apps built on it to be blocked by any nation-state without blocking out the entire internet.

TOR Vs DPNV

While TOR is very smart, it is estimated that the majority of TOR exit nodes are compromised, essentially making TOR a tad less efficient for true anonymity.

The issue with TOR is not the technology but its volunteer-based system.

With Bitcoin, if an organisation gets hold of 51% of the mining power, they would be able to conduct a man in the middle attack, and essentially double spend as much as possible.

Bitcoin attempts to combat these monopolization risks in the mining ecosystem with its incentivization mechanism. This incentivization mechanism provides miners with rewards based on their participation in helping to find and verify newly minted blocks on the network.

If Bitcoin was a volunteer-based network like TOR without an economic design, its security would most likely be compromised,
a powerful entity with access to significant hardware infrastructure could easily assume majority control of the mining network.

Unfortunately, TOR doesn’t incentivize its node operators, they are expected to run the nodes based on their shared common goals. This lack of incentives means that a determined attacker could use enough money to run a large number of nodes and compromise the network.

The Compromise of TOR exit nodes is nothing new, security experts believe a large majority of TOR exit nodes are compromised, thereby effectively opening up TOR users to huge privacy risks, and since there are no incentives, the average joe, has no interest in running a node to support TOR.

TOR’s nobility became its major weak point.

DPVN’s operate much like TOR, except with incentives baked into it, and powerful blockchain governance to mitigate risks of compromised nodes, and proof of bandwidth to ensure speed

Proof of bandwidth technology also helps the sentinel framework to avoid man in the middle attacks.

This in addition to many other features that TOR lacks, makes the sentinel framework far superior in delivering speed, security and anonymity to users

Where to Buy Sentinel Coins (DVPN Coin)

If you would like to know where to buy Sentinel DVPN, the top exchanges trading DVPN are;

• AscendEX
• Hotbit
• MEXC

After you have made your purchase on these exchanges, it is a good idea to move your coins off the exchanges, unless you are actively trading. Always remember, not your keys, not your coins.

Wallets for to Store your Sentinel Coins i.e $DVPN Token

• Keplr
• Cosmostation

Always remember to keep your seed phrase secure and safe, to avoid losing your precious DVPN tokens.

How To Make Money from Sentinel DVPN

There are several ways to make money from Sentinel DVPN

1. Run a VPN business, using Sentinel frame work at the back end; If you have the skill set to develop VPN applications, the tasks of having massive data farms to help trun your VPN business can now be outsourced using sentinel framework at the back end. This make’s it easy for you to start your FPN business without the massicve capital requirements that existing VPN providers had to incur. You can as well partner with Exidio for a white label solutoon
2. Run a Sentinel DVPN node: DVPN providers depend on indpeendent node providers, Node providers are paid by VPN service providers for the bandwith they use. You have total control on how much you want to charge for your bandwith, this is good money, if you can maintain a node.
3. Buy and Hold DVPN tokens: Obviously this is the easiest way to be involved in the DVPN ecosystem, however, with the use case of DVPN’s increasing, we expect the price pof the tokens to rise. This could be a real game changer if you get in at the right price

DPVN Price Prediction | Will DVPN Reach $100

There is no doubt that there is an urgent need for decentralized Virtual Private Network applications.

China, Russia and many other autocratic countries continue to ban centralised VPN’s across the globe, the usage of DVPN’s are going to rise globally and DVPN value is going to skyrocket.

Indeed at the time of writing this article, Russia has banned all VPN service providers, yet Russia couldn’t ban any DVPN.

This is one of those projects that has so much utility, we at Orasio, just want it to succeed for the good of humanity.

The current price of DVPN is $0.04111 we expect a retracement to $0.03112 before a bull run, which takes it all the way to $0.1 before December 2021, and $10 by 2023.
