What is DPN and how does it differ from dVPN?

DPN (Decentralized Private Network) represents a decentralized private network technology and is an abbreviation for DeePer Network. It differs from the traditional decentralized VPNs (dVPN). While there are many dVPN projects worldwide, DPN stands out with its unique features. It incorporates enterprise-level network security technology into the dVPN framework, providing security and privacy for both bandwidth users and providers. This approach ensures that the development of the Deeper Network does not pose significant security risks to bandwidth providers like the TOR Network and other dVPN projects have, and it avoids the potential for the Deeper Network to evolve in the direction of the dark web. The next question will detail how DPN applies world-leading enterprise-level network security technology to protect the safety of bandwidth providers.

Does the DPN technology, based on shared bandwidth, pose cybersecurity risks to bandwidth providers?

Decentralized VPN technology based on shared bandwidth aims to enhance privacy and freedom in network access through bandwidth sharing. However, it may also pose cybersecurity risks to bandwidth providers. For instance, bandwidth requesters might use the technology to download illegal content, launch cyber-attacks, or access harmful websites, and the legal consequences of these activities could mistakenly be attributed to innocent bandwidth providers.
From its inception, the Deeper Network has placed a high emphasis on cybersecurity, striving to address this challenge by incorporating enterprise-level network security technology. To protect the cybersecurity of bandwidth providers, we have implemented the following measures:
Blocking Bit Torrent application usage with shared traffic: Users can disable Bit Torrent traffic sharing, preventing bandwidth requesters from using others' bandwidth for Bit Torrent downloads.
Blocking access to illegal websites using shared traffic: Bandwidth providers can set website filters to prevent others from accessing illegal websites using their IP.
Preventing intrusion using shared traffic: Deeper Network employs intrusion detection technology to monitor and thwart hacker intrusions into the network.
Traceable shared logs for transparency and accountability: Any network connection leaves a log on the bandwidth provider's device, stored in encrypted form. When others use the provider's IP for illegal operations, the provider can send the encrypted log to the Deeper Network for decryption to identify the actual malicious user. This not only protects the security of the bandwidth provider but also the privacy of the bandwidth requester.
Preventing shared bandwidth from exceeding monthly quotas: By setting maximum shared bandwidth and monthly limits, providers can prevent their shared traffic from exceeding monthly quotas.
Anyone using the Deeper Network for illegal activities will find it easier to expose themselves. The cybersecurity technology of DPN deters hackers and illegal users significantly. This mechanism ensures that the Deeper Network can develop in a direction entirely different from the TOR network, towards a "clearnet."

What does “No Logging of your DPN” mean?

Deeper Connect devices offer a truly decentralized private network with no centralized servers keeping logs. The information can only be accessed by users through AtomOS with their passwords. Even if the device is stolen physically, no one will be able to access it without the password.

If someone else used my IP address and did something illegal, could my ISP trace this activity and blame me?

Deeper Connect devices have a 7-layer firewall and is capable of deep packet inspections. Malicious actors on the network will be stopped by the distributed firewall. This is actually a unique advantage of our decentralized network compared to others. We believe security to be an indispensable prerequisite to a sharing network.

If such cases do occur there are a couple of ways the Deeper devices can help rid you of liability. The port used for sharing connections and the port used for your personal connection are separate and can be distinguished. The devices keep internal logs to show that you were not the one accessing the content and in an upcoming update these logs will be easier to access and searchable. Additionally, further fine tuned controls will be coming to allow users more control over what content can pass through their device, even more than what is currently available.

However, for those who want further control there are options to refuse certain protocols or even disable bandwidth sharing entirely. These controls can be found on the Sharing Config page:

How can I prevent other users from using my IP address to do illegal activities?

Users have the option to share their bandwidth or not. Deeper Connect devices can recognize most internet protocols; users can choose to deny the dangerous ones. The devices can distinguish user's own connections and sharing connections. If you didn't do something deemed illegal, the device can prove it.

If someone is using my IP to download torrent content that was monitored by an Internet Services Provider, will the ISP go after me? Can Deeper Connect hide my IP address?

Users have the option to reject dangerous connections such as torrents. Deeper Connect devices use a transparent mode, it only accepts connections from other Deeper Connect devices, so there should not be any DDOS concerns.

What if I switch off bandwidth sharing, will the AtomOS still get updated?

Whether you switch off your bandwidth sharing or not, your AtomOS will automatically upgrade to a new version whenever it’s available for free.

Is the product 100% data leak-proof? Does it interrupt data if it leaks or does it simply not happen?

Our product is very safe and secure, but nobody has the ultimate answer to 100% security. We believe security is a dynamic process that has to be continuously upgraded to keep up with the new challenges.

What is the mechanism that protects users from becoming an exit node?

Users can disable some P2P protocols to prevent other nodes from using its bandwidth to download unauthorized content. We use source portals and deep packet inspection to distinguish different types of traffic.

Can I or Deeper Network find out who misused my device?

You cannot identify other people's logs. You can only access yours. The network is not centralized. Your device can prove that it wasn't you, but it cannot reveal who made it, as the other traffic is insulated and not accessible to other Deeper Connect users.

Does this product have any positive impact over browser finger-printing?

Yes, one of the main purposes of our device is to give you a high degree of anonymity on the web.

Do the Deeper Connect devices support bit torrent?

Deeper Network provides some cloud DPN nodes, which allow all kinds of traffic, and you will be able to torrent through the cloud nodes.

Can Deeper Connect devices allow you to download Torrents anonymously and safely?

Each user that shares bandwidth has the option to block torrents since they may be illegal in some countries. Other users may allow it if they are comfortable, therefore, there are some nodes that will allow torrent traffic.

Does this product preclude the need for Anti-Virus software?

It is recommended to still use anti-virus software. Deeper Connect is not an anti-virus product.
