The Sentinel Telegram dVPN Network Bot is now live and can be accessed by messaging the username: @sentinel_network_bot on Telegram.
This bot is a critical utility for newcomers to the Sentinel ecosystem, and can be efficiently utilized to decrease the learning curve of understanding the purpose of the Sentinel dVPN network.
With the Sentinel Telegram Network Bot, prospective community members can effectively understand how one can participate in the network and equip themselves with the information and resources required to understand how to use the dVPN application, contribute bandwidth resource to the network, and also on how to play a role in the governance of the network .

https://hackernoon.com/could-decentralized-vpns-become-the-holy-grail-of-privacy-in-the-big-brothers-brave-new-world-451433oy
The awareness of #dVPN networks is growing exponentially with users realizing that centralized and and obscure VPN providers cannot be trusted.
If you would trust open-source wallets, only trust open-source dVPNs. From 2020, the dVPN market size will begin it's journey in the mainstream from it's current cumulative market cap of under $50M (as it is right now). By 2022 the market segment should be worth over $1 Billion with the level of traction it is beginning to attain.

Launch of Sentinel’s New Website at Sentinel.co
Sentinel’s new, user-friendly website can now be viewed at Sentinel.co.
The $SENT #dVPN network has reached a new all-time-high in bandwidth consumption within a time frame of 1 week, crossing over 6.1 TB of usage between the 22nd of Feb and the 29th of Feb.
The previous timelines for the release of the new iOS and desktop app have been extended.
The new standalone #Tendermint based wallet is going through it's testing phase and will soon be released.
This wallet will allow users to delegate test tokens to the validators on the Turing-2 Test Network, viewable at http://explorer.sentinel.co.

This wallet will allow users to delegate test tokens to the validators on the Turing-2 Test Network, viewable at http://explorer.sentinel.co.
Over $1000 worth of $SENT has been distributed to the #dVPN node hosts (http://nodes.sentinel.co) for bandwidth provided in the month of December 2019.
The team is in process of establishing relationships with fiat on-ramps allowing for mainstream users to pay in fiat on mainnet
The stand-alone Tendermint Turing-2 Confirmed Desktop wallet will be launched soon followed by the dVPN client. These new clients have been fully rebuilt and allow for easier use of access featuring package-free lightweight installers in addition to other optimizations that will allow for better UX

A critical update from $SENT, the previous monolithic structure of the Sentinel desktop client has been split into a microservice architecture based backend and front-end
@spidervpn users will be able to remotely access the #dVPN on their router
https://github.com/ironman0x7b2/client/blob/development/main.go
In the previous client, the UI and the application logic is in the same desktop client codebase which has been written in ReactJS.
There was no ability for other applications to integrate with the Sentinel dVPN network or for users to remotely manage their dVPN client
The new client features a binary file which starts a API server that allows for the UI to be imported from anywhere in the subnet.
On top of this binary anyone can write their own custom UI and also integrate dVPN and Sentinel account into their own app through the API server
What does this mean?
1) Remote management of Sentinel dVPN present in home router/raspi
2) Ability for enterprises/organizations to build applications ontop of the Sentinel network with dynamic UI that is maintained from their own server (users do not need to download a new installer for a UI update)
3) Ability for other applications to integrate Sentinel dVPN services and account system into their application
We will be releasing incentives in the future for developers who take advantage of the microservices architecture present on Sentinel.

(1/3)Discussion with regards to the future:
The Sentinel network will be transitioning from an anonymous underground 'dVPN' project into a real-world organization that has the aim of 'decentralizing the VPN ecosystem'.
The multi-billion Dollar VPN industry is rapidly expanding due to the utility of the VPN in almost every jurisdiction on earth. Whether it is for accessing geo-restricted content or increasing the security of the transmission of data being accessed over the internet, individuals all over the world are demanding for secure, cheap and reliable VPN services.
Sentinel will be working with entrepreneurs and existing organizations to help them establish their own white-labelled VPN company at minimal cost or difficulty.
The question is, why would entrepreneurs want to work with Sentinel?
Painpoints/barriers to entry for a new VPN organization:
1) Cost of client development (mobile/desktop)
2) Management of nodes/handling DCMA requests
3) Potential security threats/risk of getting hacked

(2/3) How can Sentinel help?
1) Free open-source clients available for branding customization
2) Community-based network of node farms (example Alpha) who have the ability to abstract away the difficulties of DCMA mitigation from the VPN companies
3) Provably end-to-end encrypted ‘dVPN’ network
The responsibilities of the VPN companies include:
1) Legal registration and integration with the on-ramp
2) Proprietary method of customer acquisition (e.g demographically targeted SEO/SEM campaigns)
The Sentinel dVPN will remain active and will cater to the crypto community, allowing for payment through SENT token, and other Cosmos IBC supported tokens and stablecoins.
VPN companies white-labeled on the Sentinel dVPN will cater to the mainstream audience and accept only fiat payment with conversion happening in the back-end through on-ramps.
Sentinel is currently in discussion with several on-ramp providers, and the integration of fiat for payment of VPN subscriptions is essential before shift to mainnet.

We have exhibited tremendous growth in the usage of the network reaching all-time-high records in usage on a regular basis – stats.sentinel.co - , now lets convert this into a monetized economy.
Development required for this vision to commence:
1) Completion/launch of Private Nets
2) Completion/launch of V2 Clients
3) Subscription based payment models and bandwidth metering
Tentatively we will be expecting to see the completion of these releases (minus advanced payment models) by the end of May
We are expecting to commence the white-labeling with the first member of the enterprise ecosystem being SpiderVPN UK

The #Sentinel network has reached an All-Time-High bandwidth usage (in 24hr) of over 1.6 TB. This far exceeds the previous records set and shows the ever-increasing utility of the $SENT #dVPN
Now it is time to convert this 'free' economy into a monetized self-sustaining system
There will be multiple dVPN applications operating in the Sentinel ecosystem. While Sentinel will focus only on crypto/stablecoin transactions and market demographics, other dVPN applications built on Sentinel will be targeting the mainstream and the general 'layman' who can only be converted through region specific marketing campaigns and local currency supported subscription packages.
Website and all collateral will be modified to reflect the refined and focused narrative of Sentinel.

The $SENT free #dVPN is rapidly expanding to new demographics and has reached an all-time 24HR high bandwidth consumption of 3.2 TB.
While consumption has been growing rapidly, the network is processing as much bandwidth as the average TOR exit node.
Along with the upcoming 'mainstream facing' white-labeled #dVPN organizations in Sentinel's ecosystem, the aggregate node count and bandwidth consumption across all networks will only increase exponentially.
Monetization and sustenance of a practical economic model is key.
