The Hybrid VPN Provider
The Hybrid Approach: DEVPN’s Solution to the Speed vs. Privacy Challenge
This page addresses how DEVPN approaches a specific user need/challenge, as written in this section.
No clear VPN provider choice The needs of VPN users reveal a clear divide between the benefits and drawbacks of centralized and decentralized solutions. Centralized VPNs offer faster connections but seriously compromise privacy, while decentralized VPNs provide enhanced privacy but sacrifice speed and usability.
As a result, consumers are often forced to choose between the lesser of two evils, either prioritizing speed at the cost of privacy or opting for better security at the expense of performance.
Some consumers already aware of this challenge simply resort to using two separate services by switching back and forth between them to either enjoy a fast connection or ensure a safer one.
DEVPN introduces the Hybrid VPN provider
To address the challenge of choosing between speed and privacy, DEVPN has designed a network that combines the best of both centralized and decentralized VPN technology into a single hybrid solution.
By leveraging the privacy advantages of decentralized networks and the performance strengths of centralized systems, DEVPN offers users a seamless experience where they no longer have to compromise between speed and security, or switch manually between the two variants.
What about the drawbacks?
DEVPN has successfully solved the major drawbacks of both centralized and decentralized models:
Centralized drawback solutions:
Single point of failure 100% solved, DEVPN is a decentralized organisation, financially decentralized, governed by a DAO.
Lack of privacy 100% solved, DEVPN's Hybrid VPN runs the world's most privacy oriented VPN provider.
Lack of ethics 100% solved, DEVPN has a transparent, stakeholder inclusive and fair DAO governance model.
Low access 100% solved, DEVPN introduces world's first mobile dVPN network, capable of unlimited access.
Easily influences by governments 100% solved, DEVPN is organized decentralized which by nature excludes governmental pressure.
Decentralized drawback solutions:
Low Quality 100% solved, DEVPN relies on data-centers and industrial-grade decentralized hardware only.
Slow 100% solved, DEVPN provides centralized connections for traditional raw speed. + DEVPN provides high speed mobile across quality hardware connections for dVPN connections. + DEVPN utilizes AI to technically optimize it's dVPN network routing well above dVPN standards.
Often poorly managed 100% solved, DEVPN is professionally managed with a suite of seamlessly integrating services. + DEVPN also upholds a DAO structure that permits stakeholders to propose changes if needed.
Lack of consistency 100% solved, DEVPN runs a professional commercial operation model that rewards consistency.
Small networks 100% solved, DEVPN runs multiple VPN networks, across geographically balanced data-centers. + By optimizing lease contracts, we are even flexible to counter global event driven traffic spikes.
Risk of tampering 100% solved, DEVPN does not run on domestic or consumer-grade hardware. Furthermore, only one of our operator models has physical node access, which is a propitiatory hardware device, which is also monitored by our AI security to track deviating anomalies.
Why do other VPN providers not do the same?
Our competitors in the VPN market have not adopted a hybrid model like DEVPN due to the significant challenges involved in merging centralized performance with decentralized privacy.
Merging the two variants has technical and organizational consequences, requiring significant innovation, investment, and infrastructure, which most providers are unwilling or unable to undertake.
Commercial VPN providers cannot introduce decentralized elements, as their organizational structure is not equipped for it. Even if they could, one might question whether they would, given that selling your user data to brokers is a core revenue stream for many commercial providers.
Decentralized VPN providers are often grounded in ethical rather than commercial convictions. A hybrid network structure like DEVPN's also requires significant funding and capital management, which most dVPN providers will not be able to support from an organizational structure.
DEVPN leverages Decentralized Finance (DeFi) capital, solidifying its position as a trustworthy and unique commercial alternative to traditional VPNs, capable of providing a truly viable privacy network.
By placing our governance in a DAO model, all stakeholders, including customers and investors, can be assured that decisions on ethics, network expansion, and technology are made in an all-inclusive format that ensures transparency, accountability, and community participation.
This builds trust and confidence in the platform as a whole while also adhering to global principles of financial inclusion, empowerment, and resistance to harassment by local government officials.
