Decentralized VPN
that can't spy on you
Other VPNs claim they don't spy on your online activity.
At Portals technology makes it impossible.
Are commercial VPNs broken?
Unfortunately numerous incidents reveal that VPN no-logs claims can hardly be trusted.
Few centralized VPNs control browsing data of thousands of users and it's up to VPN corporations how they use this data.
Decentralized VPN changes that. See how.
Connect to
decentralized network
At Portals, instead of all internet traffic going through the servers of single VPN company, traffic is passed through independent peer-to-peer network.
- Centralized logs are not possible anymore
- Speed & ease of use is same or similar to centralized VPN
- Unblock geo-restricted content with residential IPsMost typical VPN servers are blocked by popular services like Netflix. Residential IPs are much harder to identify and block.
What is a decentralized VPN?
A decentralized VPN utilizes a network of distributed nodes rather than routing traffic through a centralized company server. These nodes act as temporary, small-scale servers operated by individuals around the world. Collectively, they form a peer-to-peer network that aims to provide resources to support the dVPN service.
When you access the dVPN, it appears as though you’re connecting from one of many IPs worldwide. This design makes it more difficult for any entity to piece together the entire puzzle and intercept your data. Additionally, with no single point of failure, it becomes significantly harder for internet service providers and governments to identify and censor your traffic, aiming to give you unrestricted, anonymous access to a variety of sites, services, and content. It's a VPN designed to offer a unique level of privacy and security.
How to use decentralized VPN?
We believe VPN should be integral part of everyone's internet toolkit. At best, one should connect & forget about it.
Change country if needed and click connect to turn on decentralized VPN. That's it.
Benefits of decentralized VPN
Avoid spying by hiding in the
crowd
Decentralized VPN technology ensures there is no single point for government, corporations, employers, ISPs, hackers and other bad actors to track you.
- Hide IP by connecting to 10000+ (and growing) peer-to-peer nodes network
- Choose IP in 120+ countries
- IPs are shuffled on each connection
- Use residential or datacenter nodes
- Use decentralized or your own DNS
Unblock content reliably
Most centralized VPN servers are blocked by popular services like Netflix.
When connecting to decentralized VPN you’re tapping into thousands of constantly changing residential IPs which are much harder to identify and block.
Power-stream content without restrictions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a decentralized VPN safe?
A reliable decentralized private network is generally considered to be safer than a centralized VPN. The distributed architecture is designed to minimize single points of attack that malicious actors could use to intercept your data. It is also intended to make it technically very difficult for decentralized VPNs to collect logs. This design aims to reduce the need to rely solely on the VPN provider’s assurance that your data isn’t being collected or sold.
Are decentralized VPNs better than centralized VPNs?
A dVPN (or DPN depending on who you ask) is designed to offer enhanced privacy and security, aiming to be more resilient to censorship and cyber threats. They strive to provide superior anonymity and make it more difficult for entities to track or block your traffic. However, dVPNs currently lack the extensive outreach and advertising budgets that centralized solutions possess. This means that, despite the dVPN’s potential benefits, the technology isn’t as widely known as centralized VPNs. As the shift towards a decentralized web continues, this is expected to change as more people recognize the advantages of switching to dVPN solutions.
Is there a free decentralized VPN?
Yes, there are several free decentralized VPNs available. However, a free dVPN doesn’t always equate to the best option. All dVPNs require funds to make the network faster and more reliable for users. This means free dVPNs without a subscription package might need to find alternative ways to cover costs, which could include ads or, in some cases, selling user data. In some instances, they might share your IP with other users or transfer data through your device without your consent. By paying a small subscription fee, you can access a dVPN that aims to offer security by default, as well as superior performance and a more reliable service. Additionally, you’ll be supporting the future development of the decentralized web.
