Deeper Connect is a portable router and true decentralized VPN

Through the Deeper Network you access a truly decentralized peer-to-peer VPN service with no concerted tracking and full control over your experience. You can block ads, go around geo-restrictions, employ parental controls for your network and much more. There are no fees or subscriptions. Buy the device and you’re in.

I’ve been saying for years that everyone should be using a VPN to protect their network traffic regardless of what they’re doing. It can provide you a significant privacy boost especially from data brokers and creepy data collectors. The problem, of course, is that you’re still routing traffic through a VPN provider and they can still do some weird shit with it. Running your own private VPN server is a solid answer. But also, just going with a company that cuts out some of that heinously creepy shit can work, too. You’ll never really know for sure who you can trust unless it’s you handling everything yourself. But it’s still good to know products like the Deeper Connect Mini exist — along with the company’s other VPN routers.

By using the Deeper Connect network, through your decentralized router, you gain access to over 200,000 servers worldwide. You can stop ads, workaround geo blocks, and protect all of your devices and connections on your home network. Here’s the best part, there are no subscriptions or fees. You buy the device, you’re in. It supports up to 1Gbps speeds and protects everything behind a 7-layer firewall. Moreover, the network is fully decentralized, and you’re not just connecting to provider controlled servers. Instead, it uses serverless architecture and peer-to-peer nodes and bounces around as you browse so you never have the same IP even across separate apps on the same system.

What else can the Deeper Connect Mini do and what’s a decentralized VPN?

When you connect to a VPN through a provider’s servers you are essentially browsing through tunnels (and servers) they control. That means, they still have direct access to all of that data, including sensitive information you’re sharing. Deeper Connect instead routes data through a decentralized peer-to-peer network with encrypted streams. No one single party controls the servers or the data and it’s masked every time you browse. But this also allows them to do some pretty cool things with your IP, the address assigned to you while you browse. Smart-routing can be used to intelligently configure routing based on data streams, like giving you a high-capacity stream for gaming or for media content. Meanwhile, multi-routing ensures you can assign IPs or switch tunnels as needed, like assigning different tunnels to different, specific apps.

Deeper Connect devices can plug in several ways. You can plug them in between your modem and router, and your devices into that. You can use them as an actual router, connected right to a modem or a router-modem combo unit. Or, you can use them in wireless relay mode connected right to your PC, laptop, or systems. There are several types of routers, as well. The Deeper Connect Mini is the big one, which we’re talking about here. Then, there’s the DPR Mini SE, Pico, Air, and Pico Lite, all with varying limitations and capabilities. But don’t worry, none have a forced subscription to deal with. Deeper Connect Air, for example, is ideal for travel.

Either way, it’s a reliable browsing method to stay private and protect your most precious data.
